Health Care Now somewhat supports President Obama's efforts to reform the system, though they tend to push single payer as the only option, rather than a strong public option. I do think that a strong showing, even if it does not result in single payer, does strengthen the chances of a strong public option. So, consider attending these upcoming events if you can:

Medicare: Made in America
Lobby Day and Rally - July, 30th
Celebrate Medicare’s 44th Birthday by showing Congress and President Obama that unions, doctors, nurses, seniors, faith groups, and Americans of every stripe support single-payer healthcare.
The best way to save this system is to expand it and make it a truly single-payer system by removing the for-profit interests.
Polls consistently show that the public supports a Medicare for All system, and 59% of physicians support it. In the face of inadequate reform to our health care system, we want Congress to make sure our voice is heard.
So, the Leadership Conference for Guaranteed Health Care is launching a rally and lobby day on Thursday, July 30th in Washington DC.
