Mission and Principles
Our Mission
We are nurses, doctors, and healthcare workers uniting to build a national movement to reform our country’s healthcare system. Our mission is to build a national healthcare system that delivers quality, affordable healthcare to all.
Our Principles
Universal Care
Healthcare for all needs to be a reality, not just rhetoric. We need to create a core healthcare benefit similar to one that is available to federal employees.
Caregiver Choice
No one knows the issues better. All caregivers should have a voice in the healthcare reform debate.
Prevention
A critical part of promoting health, controlling costs, and eliminating economic racial disparities.
Patient Choice
Patients deserve a choice of doctors and healthcare plans without gaps in coverage or access, and the delivery system must meet the needs of at-risk populations.
Staffing Standards
Higher staffing levels means better patient care, lower costs, fewer medical errors, and better working conditions for all caregivers.
Training for the Future
Healthcare reform must factor in training and education that will prepare us to meet the growing needs of the future and keep pace with increasing demand and ever-changing technology.
Controlling Costs
Healthcare reform must control costs by providing care that is cost efficient and medically effective.
Continuing Care
We need comprehensive long term care services that will reduce out-of-pocket costs, and maximize opportunities.
