Testimony Archive
The following are all written testimonies given before 2008. We would like to point out that these are just a sampling of the testimony that has been generated across the country at truth commissions focused on the health care crisis. Each individual’s story has exposed health care violations while adding insight to the movement for a single payer and Universal coverage health care system.
