Nurses for Single Payer (NFSP) is dedicated to achieving universal health care through single-payer public financing. Our goal is for all Oregonian residents to have guaranteed, high quality, comprehensive health care.
Why Single Payer?
The term “Single Payer” refers to a system of healthcare reimbursement that respects health care as a human right. We believe the most effective model for ensuring access to equitable, affordable, comprehensive, and high quality health care is a publicly funded health care system.
