National Single Payer, a national, grassroots organization that believes health care is a human right, must be free from profit, and will be achieved through national legislation, opposes the use of tax-payer dollars to fund a military campaign targeting Venezuela and firmly stands against all unilateral coercive measures that cause hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths, mostly children’s, every year in 40 countries. We call on the nation to demand our government use our resources to support life and wellbeing at home and abroad.

National Single Payer condemns the unilateral, immoral, and criminal military attacks carried out by the United States government against three nuclear facilities on the sovereign nation of Iran. This unprovoked attack on Iran is a flagrant violation of international law, the Charter of the United Nations, and the U.S. Constitution and undermines the fundamental pillars of peaceful coexistence among nations.

December 2024

In December 2024, NSP led a delegation to Cuba to learn firsthand about the Cuban health care system. The 16-member delegation found a country crippled by the U.S. policy to isolate Cuba from trade and vital human necessities with a 60 year-old economic, financial, and commercial blockade of food, fuel, medicines, and medical equipment. Against all odds, Cuba has created and supported a unique model of publicly funded and publicly delivered health care that features locally-based preventive care. The delegation visited hospitals, neighborhood clinics, schools, oncology centers, and pharmacies and witnessed the fallout of U.S. unilateral economic measures. The Cuban health care system is a result of a commitment to health care as a human right enshrined in the Cuban constitution. Under this system, health outcomes improved, notably, infant and maternal mortality rates, which for years were lower than the U.S. All of these achievements are again under threat of being destroyed.

NSP recently signed on to the following letter to members of the United States Congress and Executive Branch:

As health workers, we are writing to inform you of new research which demonstrates that a policy tool used extensively by the US government is causing half a million deaths around the world every year, including the deaths of over a quarter million children under the age of 5. The practice of imposing unilateral economic sanctions, such as those the US currently has in place against some 40 countries, must stop in light of this conclusive evidence.

Join us in demanding that Mass General Brigham immediately remove James D. Taiclet from its Board of Directors. Mr.  Taiclet is President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board of Lockheed Martin  Corporation, the world’s largest weapons manufacturer and exporter.  There is a profound conflict of interest involved in the world’s largest  weapons manufacturer sitting on the board of one of the world’s largest  and most prestigious healthcare systems.
