Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) is a single issue organization advocating a universal, comprehensive single-payer national health program (also called "improved Medicare for all"). Since 1987, we've advocated for reform in the U.S. health care system. PNHP performs ground breaking research on the health crisis and the need for fundamental reform, coordinates speakers and forums, participates in town hall meetings and debates, contributes scholarly articles to peer-reviewed medical journals, and appears regularly on national television and news programs advocating for a single-payer system.
