On June 8,2019, the Illinois Single Payer Coalition joined a diverse coalition of health professionals and community groups to protest the American Medical Association's participation in the "Partnership for America's Health Care Future," dedicated to destroying the movement for true universal healthcare. Join us in telling the AMA to get on the right side of history; support expanded and improved Medicare for all!

Take action!
Once you have watched the video, please send an email to AMA President Dr. Barbara McAneny, Barbara.McAneny@ama-assn.org, telling her that the AMA should leave the Partnership for America's Health Care Future and instead serve the interests of physicians, other clinicians, and patients by working for national improved Medicare for all.
