Student Alliance for Healthcare Reform

Also known as STAHR
==Background==
* Working in Pittsburgh for PA Healthcare Reform and a single payer option in March 2007
==Insights==
===Mission===
# to educate our communities about the nature and implications of proposals to establish universal health care and 
# to advocate for policies that improve access to equitable, comprehensive, high-quality, affordable health care for residents of Pennsylvania and, moreover, the entire United States. We view single-payer policies, in particular, as the most equitable, effective, and sustainable way to achieve this goal.
===Actions===
We host speakers and debates on healthcare reform strategies and engage in advocacy campaigns, such as writing letters to and lobbying our state and federal representatives. A key strength of our group is that we are an interdisciplinary alliance of students from across the health sciences and related fields: medicine, public health, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, social work, rehabilitation sciences, public and international affairs, public policy and management, arts & sciences, and law. We would welcome more perspectives.
