Missouri Health Care for All is bringing together a community of passionate activists in our state to advocate for equitable health policies in Missouri, and to advance the broader movement for universal, single-payer health care in the United States. We want to live in a world in which every person has access to affordable, high quality, affirming, and responsive health care, no matter where they live or how much money they make. Specifically, we want to create a system of universal health care that provides comprehensive, holistic, and high-quality care. That care must be equitable, in that social identities do not determine the quality of care. We believe that this world we envision will provide everyone with more opportunities to thrive socially, economically, and emotionally. There will be more space and time for joy and understanding, and more meaningful engagement with family and community. Achieving this vision will improve health outcomes, increase personal freedom, reduce health and wealth disparities, and raise the quality of life for all of us.
