Our Mission:
The education and mobilization of the public, the
stimulation of debate, and the encouragement of moving the states and
country towards a more humane and equitable system which guarantees
universal access to health care for all Americans. This shall
be accomplished by support of grassroots organizing and empowering
those communities most at-risk in the current system.
"Everybody In Nobody Out" is the website
of Project EINO, which is an organizing effort
committed to the support and advancement of state and local organizations working
towards non-incremental universal health care. Project EINO
also works to advance the discussion in states where no
state UHC group presently operate, with the hope that
new activist groups might arise. Interested in starting a new
state UHC group? Click Here.
EINO is critical of "market medicine"
which developed during the growth of "managed care".
We do not believe that human health is a commodity and that health
care is just one more market to be exploited. We believe there are a range of possible solutions to the present
health care crisis in the United States and that these should be openly explored.
Some of these may well have some defined role for private
companies. There are principles for what can reasonably be considered a
"genuine commitment to universal health care".
The three essential elements of "real universal
health care" for "Everybody In Nobody Out" are:
-
Absolute universal health care
without leaving any resident without access
to regular appropriate medical attention, or to critical attention
as need arises.
-
Non-incremental reform
with a timetable and explicit goal of including everyone and all
sorts of necessary care (mental health, long-term care,
treatment for substance abuse, prescriptions, basic dental and
eye care etc.) even
if introduced stepwise over several years
-
A plan for stability and solvency
Project EINO is committed
to equal support of all state groups whose objectives
lie within our principles. Such
a group might endorse a particular solution to their health care
crisis, or they might be
open to dialogue ranging over a number of possible
solutions.
Please refer to our principles for further
discussion of the three essential principles guiding our
operation. CLICK
