SUPPORT THE MINNESOTA HEALTH PLAN
Make sure single-payer health care and the Minnesota Health Plan are defining issues in the election. Introduce a single-payer resolution and distribute it to your friends, neighbors and colleagues. Run to be a single-payer delegate. John Marty is the only candidate for governor who has consistently supported single-payer, and he is the author of the current legislation in the Minnesota Senate.

RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF
a universal, single-payer health care system: Whereas, lack of health insurance is a cause of 45,000 deaths per year in the U.S and
Whereas, 62% of personal bankruptcies are due to medical expenses and over 75% of these people have health insurance and
Whereas, Over 47 million people in this country lack health insurance, millions more are under-insured, over 450,000 Minnesotans lack insurance coverage and minorities are disproportionately likely to be without insurance and
Whereas, Federal reforms will not achieve universal coverage nor adequately control costs and will perpetuate a fragmented and inequitable health care system and
Whereas, a single-payer system is the only system of health care that can assure universal and equitable coverage, portability and choice of provider, while also controlling costs
Be it resolved that this Party supports and works to enact a universal, single-payer health care plan on the federal level
