State Single Payer Strategy Session: Saturday, September 25th

State Single Payer is happening all around the nation! Let's set a
path to victory for single payer in Maryland!

There is renewed energy to work for state single payer bills and at
least 20 states are in different stages from just beginning to write a
single payer bill to moving legislation through the state house to
working with consultants on ways to implement single payer at the state
level. The Maryland Health Security Act will be introduced for the third
time this upcoming session. The time is now to craft our strategy to
move this bill forward!

Join us for a dynamic and interactive strategy session. We will hear
from people who have successfully moved bills through the legislature.
We will hear from our legislative and organizational allies about ways
to build broader support for this bill. We will develop three working
groups from the strategy session which will focus on educating
legislators, working with state agencies and building a stronger
coalition of supporting organizations. You will learn about ways that
you can help us achieve our shared goal of a health system in Maryland
that is truly universal, lifelong, comprehensive and will control health
care costs.
