This film features highlights from a congressional forum on HR676, the only piece of federal legislation that would ensure every American access to health care. Introduced by Rep. John Conyers (D-Michigan), HR676 would establish a publicly financed, privately delivered health care system that improves and expands the existing Medicare program. This unique single-payer system would guarantee that every American, regardless of income, employment status or race has access to the highest quality health care.
This fascinating primer features appearances by Rep. John Conyers, filmmaker Michael Moore, Executive Director Rose Ann DeMoro of the California Nurses Association, legislators Dennis Kucinich, Maxine Waters and Pete Stark and renowned physicians Marcia Angell, former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine, Claudia Fegan and David Himmelstein, founding director of Physicans for a National Health Program.
Running time: 17 minutes
HR676 shown at the National Health Care for the Homeless Conference
