Mass-Care
Mass-Care’s mission is to establish a single payer health care system in Massachusetts
so that all residents of the Commonwealth will have access to comprehensive, quality, affordable and equitable health care
because it is basic to life and human dignity. Mass-Care was launched in 1995 as a coalition of Massachusetts organizations
sharing a deep concern about the inequities of our health care system. Our organization’s strategic mission is premised
on the belief that only a large-scale grassroots movement will be able to win reform that guarantees universal single payer
health care.
