Citing the persistence of thousands of preventable deaths each year due to lack of health insurance, students at more than 20 medical schools will hold teach-ins, rallies and candlelight vigils on October 1st to bring national attention to ‘our failing health care system and the need for single-payer health reform
Students for a National Health Program – working in coalition with the American Medical Student Association, WhiteCoats4BlackLives, the Latino Medical Student Association, Universities Allied for Essential Medicine, and Pre-Health Dreamers – will hold teach-ins, rallies, and candlelight vigils to remember the millions of people in our country who remain uninsured, underinsured and underserved by our current health care system. We will also underscore the need for a more fundamental health reform – a nonprofit, publicly financed, single-payer health system.
