Our Goal: Improved Medicare for All

Healthcare-Now of Maryland is a statewide grassroots organization working for affordable, accessible quality health care for all Marylanders.

We come from all walks of life. We are workers and professionals, Black and white, women and men, insured and uninsured.

We believe that health care is a basic human right and that a single-payer system is the best method to achieve universal care, eliminate administrative waste, control costs, obtain public accountability and guarantee that patients can get medical care without fear of financial ruin.
