Get involved in bringing single-payer health care to the state of Ohio

Bob and others have been collecting petition signatures for SPAN for nearly five years, in order to get it on the Ohio ballot so citizens can put it to a vote. SPAN doesn’t have the PR budget that big business has, but what it does have in its favor is the support of people who take the time to learn about it.

If you’re intrigued by the concept of single-payer, check out the Web site: www.spanohio.org/ and browse through the links to see the support that SPAN already enjoys. If you would like to become more involved and help make this a reality, e-mail SPAN at seospan[@]yahoo[.]com. Community members, in addition to Bob Smiddie, who are actively involved in the Athens area include Arlene Sheak, Warren Haydon and Carolyn Fisk. Any of us would be glad to discuss this important topic with you.
