On May 10, 2016, KSPH brought single payer health care to the heart of Louisville’s medical center. The Courier-Journal, Business First, and Greater Louisville Medical Society covered the story.
Speakers celebrated the publication of PNHP‘s new single payer proposal in the American Journal of Public Health and urged doctors, medical students, and the public to sign on as endorsers to this single payer plan–many did. (Please join the movement by signing on to the proposal here.)
