[act-ma] Single Payer Lobby Day! Mark Your Calendars: Wed, Jan 12

[Benjamin Day]

Please mark your calendars: lobby day for the Massachusetts single payer 
bill will be on Wednesday, January 12 starting at 1PM! Room to be 
announced. Lobby day comes up only once every two years, and it is 
extremely important to turn out people from across the state. Please 
help by reaching out to organizations you are involved with, and 
reaching out to your neighbors to attend.

Mass-Care's web-page has been updated with an all new fact sheet, 
section-by-section summary, and the new bill itself, which is called "An 
Act for Improved Medicare for All in Massachusetts: Providing 
Guaranteed, Affordable Health Care." It will be filed by Senator Jamie 
Eldridge:

We have also benefited from an important new study from Professor Gerald 
Friedman, an economist at UMass Amherst, which estimates the savings 
from our single payer bill, and how it would impact families and 
employers. Highlights from his new study can be found in our fact sheet:
