Great Northern States Health Care Initiative



The Great Northern States Health Care Initiative is a group of people from Minnesota and Wisconsin who have come together for the purpose of advocacy for a better health care system in our respective states and the nation. Our main objective is education of ourselves and others in our communities on the imperatives of a single payer health care system.

"Don't let the politicians force you to buy insurance you can't afford and which won't help you when you're sick."

A Sampling of Our Principles

Whereas, it is the role and function of government to see that all have access to necessary health care, we support reform and funding of a health care system that guarantees:

1. all residents access to quality, comprehensive health care explicitly defined as a human right.
2. that the pursuit of corporate profit and personal fortune has no place in health care decisions.

(For more on our principles, please visit the February archives posting " What We Stand For.")
