almost exclusively on how health care will be paid for. But health

and health care are far larger issues than simply financing. This

but a platform for creating the possibility of equity and justice in

health care, and will detail the myriad issues to be taken up once

the nation has achieved an equitable financing mechanism.

Learning Objectives:
Participants will define single-payer Participants will understand health care justice
