Comment:

We don't need the Robin Hood Tax in order to fund health care--if we get rid of the health insurance industry we have plenty of money to take care of the health care needs of every person in the country.

Single-payer organizations support the movement for a Robin Hood Tax because it will help to redress the severe mal-distribution of wealth in this country, and because we recognize that social determinants of health are even more important for health than the health care system itself.

The Robin Hood Tax plus Medicare for all for life (as Donna Smith now calls it) would make an enormous contribution toward improving the health and well-being of all of us.

              Dear Anne,

            Wall Street banks and corporations are raking in record profits while our communities continue to suffer job losses and cuts to public programs. Instead of lining the pockets of corporate fat cats, this money should go to our children’s Head Start programs, Grandma’s retirement, and fixing our broken healthcare system. It’s time for the administration to stand with the people and TAX WALL STREET. Join us April 20 as we march to the White House and Treasury Department to demand a financial transaction tax on Wall Street trades so we can put the money toward global health needs, addressing the climate crisis, jobs, and education.
