A group of doctors and single payer groups who earlier this year called on the Supreme Court to strike down the Obama mandate will hold a press conference at the National Press Club’s Zenger Room in Washington, D.C. June 25 at 10 am.

The group will discuss their amicus brief to the Supreme Court, popular support for implementing a single payer “Medicare for all” system, and the constitutionality of such a system.

Six years after Massachusetts enacted the state version of Obama’s health law, the people of Massachusetts are not happy. According to a June 11th poll in Massachusetts, 78% of patients say the cost of care in Massachusetts is a serious problem and 63% say it has gotten worse in the last five years. Patients report longer waits, higher premiums, higher co-pays and are less satisfied with health care. The number of bankruptcies due to medical illness and costs has continued to increase in Massachusetts too.

Despite what the corporate media report, Romney-Care, on which Obama-Care is modeled, is not working.
