Health Care For All NC

What Health Care For All NC does

Health Care For All NC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit advocacy organization founded in 1994 as North Carolina's first chapter of Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP). Its mission is to educate and activate healthcare providers and the general public in support of a comprehensive, universal, single-payer healthcare system in the United States. The organization is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors of approximately 14 members, including physicians, nurses, physician assistants, public health professionals, and a labor organizer, with a single paid Program Assistant on staff. It operates from a Chapel Hill, NC mailing address and carries no physical office.

The organization delivers no commercial products or services. Its core offerings are educational advocacy resources (website content, FAQ, legislation tracking, fact sheets), community events (annual meetings, film screenings, rallies, webinars), a quarterly newsletter, and a speaker request program for civic, religious, and labor audiences. It also facilitates student activism through five SNaHP (Students for a National Health Program) chapters at North Carolina universities including Duke, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Wake Forest. Technology footprint is limited to a Squarespace-hosted website, Instagram, Bluesky social presence, and Givebutter-based donation processing.

The revenue model is donation-based and intentionally constrained: the organization explicitly accepts no money from pharmaceutical companies, private insurers, hospitals, or other for-profit entities, relying solely on tax-deductible individual donations. Its most significant tangible policy outcome was the December 2023 North Carolina Medicaid expansion, which covered over 600,000 previously uninsured residents; the organization continues to advocate for national single-payer legislation as Improved and Expanded Medicare for All.
