HOW WE'LL WIN
We’ll build a national movement by helping people to work together, in their own neighborhoods and communities, to bring basic medical care to everyone.
At first, we’ll ask people to join online meetings and invite others they know. Then we’ll form local work groups from people who join those meetings, and give those workgroups staff and organizing support.
We’ll also have national teams to help with communication and planning. We’ll use social media to teach people about why we need to change healthcare – and how we can bring primary care to all Americans. We’ll partner with groups that share our values to bring this message to all Americans.
We’ll choose 25 communities to work with in the next year. Then we’ll double the number of communities we work with each year.
We’ll focus on why it’s important for everyone to have easy access to primary medical care, in every neighborhood and community, and we’ll explain how it can help public health and reduce the cost people pay for healthcare across the nation.
We’ll be giving people and communities an essential service they don’t have now, and will not propose taking away a service (health insurance) that many people have and rely on, however dysfunctional.
But we can’t do any of this without YOU! Please click here to join us and/or volunteer.
Our Community Zooms
Our short, effective online meetings every two weeks are to share ideas and strategies, and to learn what others are doing to bring primary care to all, in their own neighborhoods and communities. We’ll hear from organizers, community folks, small business people, and experts.
As people join us, we’ll create and support local workgroups of people who live close to one another.
Community Zooms begin the week of September 18, 2023
Our Playbooks
We’ll develop a series of playbooks to support the workgroups functioning at local, state, and national levels, so that the communities, states and the nation begin to work to provide primary care to all Americans. Playbooks will guide workgroups in developing a set of simple first steps that will put communities on the path to primary care for all and will help communities and state workgroups learn how to adopt regulations or pass laws that pave the way to providing primary care to all. And we’re developing educational materials to inform people who are interested in running for political office, including Governor, about the issues we seek to advance.
We’ll develop and support different pathways in red and blue communities and states, understanding different places have different cultures and may want different approaches.
Our Resource Guide
Our resource guide is an online place to go for data about the cost and public health of primary care; for strategies and tactics that neighborhoods, communities, cities, towns and states can use to bring primary care to everyone; and for our Bright Spots, real-world examples of neighborhoods and communities that are on the path to bringing primary care to all – or have gotten there already.
It will be available online about November 1, 2023.
Our National Coordinating Council
Finally, we’ll create a national coordinating council, to help organize this work on a national level and explore opportunities to make progress by changing federal law and regulation.
The National Co-ordinating Council will begin operations January 1, 2024
