Let the games begin.

The corporate takeover of health reform is underway, so get your Myth-Busting chops on and jump in the pool! Your voice will drown out Frank Luntz' memo any day.

Step 1: Spread the truth about corporate-run health care - it rations care, costs more and has ratty quality-of-care

Step 2: Write a quick Letter to the Editor about it!

Step 3: Talk about the benes of a strong public health plan, including a single-payer plan like Medicare for All

Step 4: Swallow hard when you realize that Medicare for All has been pushed off the table this year, and pledge your solidarity to a strong public plan anyway.

Step 4.5: Know that Rome wasn't built in a day and the movement for Medicare for All begins with strengthening Medicare now

Step 5: Support a strong public plan as a historic first-step in stopping the Corporate takeover of our health care system.

Our drive for single-payer depends on this first step. Lives depend on it.
