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."

We are interested in hearing of problems you have had with the health care system.

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.")
