2 HEALTHCARE-NOW! Healthcare-NOW is a grassroots organization that addresses the health insurance crisis in the U.S. by educating and advocating for the passage of single-payer health-care legislation, such as HR 676. We support building the movement necessary to implement a publicly-funded, single-payer healthcare system that is universal, equitable, transparent, accountable, comprehensive, and that removes financial and other barriers to the right to healthcare. Join us! Thanks and Solidarity! The conference organizers owe a special thanks to the incredible work of our volunteers who helped find a hotel and venue for the conference, do outreach in Nevada, pull together the conference wiki, help livestream the event, and more. Thank you Danielle Cork, Kristofer DiPaolo, Eileen Eady, Keenan Korth, Tisia Stemp, and Amy Vilela. Thank you also to Michael Lighty and Donna Smith for helping reach out to many of the speakers and activists featured as plenary speakers.
