About Accessing These Resources. Some of these resources are pdf files. If you have any difficulty accessing a pdf file, please go here.

Tools to Inform

• Start a Conversation “start a chat” sheet (pdf) that provides an overview of the “Get More - Pay Less - Cover Everyone” aspects of Improved Medicare for All.
  • One side: high-level comparison of Medicare to Improved Medicare for All
  • Other side: high-level comparison of Health Care with (the) New Law to Improved Medicare for All
• Information Pamphlet(s) or Booklet(s). You or your group decide whether you want to use the following four documents as folded sheets to assemble a pamphlet (from one folded 8.5 x 11 sheet) or a booklet (two or three or four 8.5 x 11 sheets folded into one 4.25 x 5.5 inch booklet):
  • Cover with Checklist (pdf): use alone or use it as a booklet cover; the “checklist” is on the back page
  • Answers (pdf): selected answers and replies; use alone or as the first insert into a booklet
  • Statistics (pdf): - use alone or as the second insert into a booklet
  • Centerfold (pdf) - This is the Flow Chart #3 pamphlet, here used as a “centerfold” for a booklet: a diagram (flow chart) of what we have today and what we will have with Improved Medicare for All.
  • Assembly of Booklets. The booklets are small and are made up of separate documents. Some of the readers of the booklet might want to separate the booklet into the 2 to 4 documents. Therefore, you might want to assemble the booklet by only folding the pages in half, without stapling the pages together. (Long-neck staplers cost around $25 each if you prefer to staple.)
• Flow Chart Pamphlets (one-sheet double-sided): each has a flow chart that displays in a “picture format” the difference between the “Current System + New Law” and “Improved Medicare for All”.
  • bottomlineflowchart1 (pdf) — This is a detailed version, providing the most explanation of the flow chart on Page 1 and details of the letters campaign on Page 2.
  • bottomlineflowchart2 (pdf) — This is for sending to your U.S. Representative.
  • bottomlineflowchart3 (pdf) — This is a simpler version than the other two and is recommended for the “centerfold” of the booklet (above).
• Education: in text, audio and video.
  • Primary Information: explanation, presentation, answers
  • Details - Level One: the legislation, the stories & more
  • Details - Level Two: getting into more detailed topics
  • A list of “direct links” allows your direct access to specific graphs, charts, lists and tables of information
• References: to refer people to answers and to more detailed information sheets.
  • Answers: the Answers web page provides answers to questions and replies to topic. You can use this to get answers to your questions. Also use it as a resource to help you answer questions from others.
  • Comparison Handouts
    • Comparison to Current Health Insurance (pdf) … also provided as a benefits web page [with links to more information]
    • Comparison to Original Medicare (pdf) … also provided as a web page [with links to more information]
    • Comparison to new law signed 3/21/2010 (pdf)
      • A handy, sometimes alarming, comparison between an improved Medicare for All and the new law. Decide which solution you want for the United States. (Note: the new law helps some people, but what does it do to the health care premiums and the taxes of everyone?)
      • Also provided as a web page

Continuous Improvement Process.

All information has been carefully reviewed and refined, sometimes for weeks by a team of Americans from across the country. But we don’t stand still with anything. All of the website and all of its resources are maintained with a process of “continuous improvement.” In other words, anything and everything is available for comments, complaints, criticisms, and compliments. If you have any suggestions or comments, please contact Bob.
