Healthcare-NOW!

Healthcare-NOW! is a "movement for a National Health Insurance system", or single payer health care system, in the United States supporting United States National Health Care Act: H.R.676. In July, 2008 the organization responded to confusion caused by the launch of a well-funded liberal lobby campaign with a similar name, Health Care for America Now, a group that does not support HR676.
