Thank you to WHYY for covering the most important issue and the only solution to our state and national health care crisis. Too many people can not afford healthcare and too many providered are frustrated and at wits end by the hours spent begging insurers for patient coverage, by spending hours having to justify necessary treatment, by listening to one after another patient tell their story of how they can not afford their medicines or how they have waited so long to be diagnosed with a condition that should have been treated much sooner because they did not have the co-pay to afford the visit, or were afraid they couldn't aford the co-payment for the treatments. This for-profit healthcare system is killing literally killing our people. Single payer is the only solution. No co-pays, no deductibles, everybody in, nobody out!

Good for WHYY for covering the June 11th rally for a Single Payer Healthcare Reform Option.
We want every Pennsylvanian of every age, income and medical condition to get basic, decent medical attention when they need it.
People should not have to lose their homes or go on welfare when faced with injury or death

Thank you for finally focusing on a single payer story at length! With so many other countries using this method of provider reimbursement, and doing so for nearly 50% less than the US – all while surpassing health outcomes and quality healthcare delivery – it's great to see WHYY having its reporters look at this option.
