<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="">A
majority of people in this country support public universal healthcare.
Yet no such plan has been discussed in Congress. These proposals have
been shut out of the discussion and shot down as 'unrealistic' in favor
of plans which preserve the place of the very healthcare corporations
which have profited from denying people care and rejecting claims. </span><br>
</div><br>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="">As
Massachusetts residents, we know firsthand that congressional proposals
mandating people to buy inferior coverage doesn’t work. Even worse, the
latest federal plans include provisions that would drastically restrict
abortion access & make cuts to Medicare. We need a single-payer
system that covers everyone, including <i>all</i> of their healthcare needs.</span><br>

Join with this panel of activists to discuss how we got here, why we
need a publicly funded single-payer system, and what it will take to
win it.<br><br>Check out <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://bostonsocialism.org">bostonsocialism.org</a> for more information, articles, and events that the Boston branch of the International Socialist Organization is organizing and promoting.<br>
