Saturday, April 25, 10am-12noon, this on-line event requires advance registration

Join us for a presentation by our keynote speaker, Wendell Potter.

The mission of the Single Payer Action Network Ohio (SPAN Ohio) is to educate the citizens and legislators of Ohio to the need and advocate for a fundamental change in our healthcare system so that all residents have affordable access to healthcare through a publicly funded, privately delivered comprehensive system that fulfills the basic human right to health care.

What Does “Single-Payer” Really Mean?

The term “Single-payer” means that one fund, administered by a non-profit government agency accountable to the public would make payment for all medical services. Period. The hundreds of private health insurance companies that currently do this work — each raking in profits for its stockholders and each with its own expensive bureaucracy and complicated policies — would no longer be involved as middlemen. The choice of doctors and hospitals would be yours and decisions about your care would be made by you and your doctor, not an insurance company executive interested only in the bottom line. Medicare is one example of a single-payer plan.
