Health Care for ALL
Oregon Area Progressives believe that healthcare is a human right, and that a single-payer system with comprehensive coverage for all is the best model to ensure access to safe, affordable medical options.
Oregon Area Progressives supported the efforts made by the Obama Administration when it developed and ushered through the passage of the Affordable Healthcare Act in 2010. We encourage the WI State Legislature to accept Medicare expansion funds from the federal government and expand access to Badgercare to provide healthcare coverage for thousands of Wisconsinites, especially the elderly, children, and those living in poverty.

Physicians for National Health Program
Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) advocates for universal, comprehensive single-payer national health insurance, and collaborates with others to fight racism and advance social justice.
PNHP believes that high-quality health care is a right of all people and should be provided equitably as a public service rather than bought and sold as a commodity.
PNHP’s mission is therefore to educate physicians, other health workers, and the general public on the need for a comprehensive, high-quality, publicly-funded health care program, equitably accessible to all residents of the United States.
