OUR MISSION: Project EINO educates the public, encouraging state movements towards an equitable health care system guaranteeing universal access to care, to be accomplished by support of state organizing. "Universal" is meant seriously and precisely. Plans to reduce the 2010 level of the uninsured by by 50 or even 90% are not plans for Universal Health Care --even though such claims have frequently been made. Universal health care means All Americans or All Residents of a given state will be included in the new system of access to high quality care, so that there will no longer be ANY persons uninsured, nor underinsured.
STRATEGIC KEY: The Right
to Health Care
We encourage all state UHC organizations to recognize that empowering the underprivileged in our society (ethnic minorities, low-income workers etc.) is key to our success. These sectors of society will become energetic proponents of this movement when we demonstrate our commitment to the "Right to Health Care" for all Americans, similar to the "Right to Education" on which American parents now depend. Some version of Single Payer health care would seem to most clearly fulfill the promise of an efficient and stable system. We believe that calling for the commitment to the "Right to Health Care" should be primary and that arguments about how to achieve that goal should proceed thereafter. |

This week's quote (Aug20)
"
Noting the Obama administration's new health law falls short of providing affordable care to all U.S. residents, the national convention of this large organization passed a resolution calling on the board to 'advocate strongly' for 'an improved Medicare for all.'

Last week's quote (Aug12)
"
Fully 22.4% of persons under age 65 years in 2009 with private health insurance were enrolled in a HDHP (high deductible health plan), including 16.1% who were enrolled in a HDHP without a health savings account (HSA). Enrollment in HDHPs increased 28% from 2007 to 2009.
