It&#8217;s cheaper than our current model, and most Americans (and their doctors) already want it. So what&#8217;s the deal with our current healthcare system, and why don\u2019t we have something better?<br><br>In&nbsp;<em>Health Justice Now<\/em>, Timothy Faust explains what single payer is, why we don&#8217;t yet have it, and how it can be won. He identifies the actors that have misled us for profit and political gain, dispels the myth that healthcare needs to be personally expensive, shows how we can smoothly transition to a new model, and reveals the slate of humane and progressive reforms that we can only achieve with single payer as the springboard.<br><br>In this impassioned playbook, Faust inspires us to believe in a world where we could leave our job without losing healthcare for ourselves and our kids; where affordable housing is healthcare; and where social justice links arm-in-arm with health justice for us all. Single payer is the tool\u2014health justice is the goal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the author<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-59.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-59.png 200w, https:\/\/occupysf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-59-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/18171323.Timothy_Faust\">Timothy Faust<em><\/em><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>1&nbsp;book120&nbsp;followersFollow<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Timothy &#8220;T-Bone&#8221; Faust&#8230; The $50,000 Dazzler&#8230; The name on everyone&#8217;s lips.<br><br>Timothy is the author of Health Justice Now (Melville House, 2019).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Health Justice Now: Single Payer and What Comes Next Timothy Faust The sun is setting on America&#8217;s half-century of punishing the sick, and this book promises a bright new dawn for us all.
