A single payer health care system – at the federal or state level – remains the best solution for the American health care system.
A vote for Howie Hawkins, the Green Party candidate for Governor, is a great way to show politicians that you still want a single payer, improved and expanded Medicare for All health care system. Eliminate the waste and red tape of private health insurance. Make health care a right. If the Greens get 50,000 votes, they become an official party again. The Democrats and Republicans understand that this is a critical threshold, giving greater credibility to the issues that the Greens advocate for.
Hawkins wants New York to be the first state in the country to implement a single payer Medicare for All program that would save New Yorkers $28 billion annually by 2019 (compared to the Congressional insurance mandate) according to a recent state-funded study.
