URGENT! Call for health care! Please call our U.S. senators, Max Baucus and Jon Tester in favor of affordable health care -- without a tax on health insurance premiums! Read more.

Nov. 10, '09 - The clock is ticking. Every hour, another five people die because they don’t have health insurance.

How many more have to die before everyone in America has access to quality, affordable health care?

The U.S. House passed its version of a health care reform bill Nov. 7. Read what the bill does. The Senate is still fiddling with its version. Read more.

Insurance company lobbyists and the Chamber of Commerce are doing everything they can -- spending millions of dollars -- to slow down the process and ultimately kill reform. Don’t let them block reform. The time for waiting is done.

Where MEA-MFT stands: MEA-MFT's Representative Assembly has passed new business items two years in a row calling for a single-payer system. (Here is a simple explanation of the single-payer system, created by a single-payer advocate.)

Single-payer is not going to happen this year -- the political will doesn't exist. So MEA-MFT stands by these principles of health care reform.
