The Reach New Heights for Universal Health Conference convenes state-based single-payer advocates, public-health scholars, labor organizers, clinicians, policymakers, and grassroots leaders in a hybrid (in-person + online) format to accelerate the movement for publicly financed, privately delivered universal health care.
One Payer States (OPS) is the leading coalition coordinating state campaigns for single-payer reform
This Conference Matters in 2025 because it builds Momentum for State-Based Reform
- The State-Based Universal Health Care Act was re-introduced in Congress on July 15, 2025, explicitly citing OPS's coalition work as a catalyst.
- Colorado approved a feasibility study for a single-payer model on May 14, 2025, making Denver a living policy laboratory.
- WHO and UN agencies continue pressing nations—and sub-national jurisdictions—to accelerate progress toward universal health coverage (UHC) by 2030.
Attending in August therefore puts you at the epicenter of policy, politics, and practice when windows for state-level breakthroughs are widening.
