Healthcare Dino heading
toward a tar pit!

Mission

Hoosiers for a Commonsense Health Plan is a group of Indiana citizens who support a publicly financed, privately delivered (single payer) universal health plan at the state and national level. HCHP is working to educate the public and the legislature about the benefits of a single payer plan. We are seeking individuals and groups who have an interest in helping achieve this goal.

The U.S. spends twice as much as other industrialized nations on health care, yet it ranks only 39 among nations in terms of health outcomes and we have 46 million without health coverage and millions more with inadequate coverage.

Private insurance bureaucracy and paperwork consume 31 percent of every health care dollar. Streamlining payment though a single nonprofit payer would save more than $350 billion per year nationally, enough to provide comprehensive, high-quality coverage for all Americans.

HCHP is a state affiliate of Physicians for a National Health Program and supports its goal of national single-payer health insurance. PNHP Mission Statement

We have the opportunity of a lifetime right now to achieve universal health care in the United States. While the economic recession is making things worse for everyone, it is also making it clearer that solving our health care problem is a crucial part of economic recovery. Right now is the time to speak up. Our elected leaders need to hear from us. We can be a part of the change we want to see happen!
