Get involved
This legislation is being written in the open. If you're a patient, clinician, researcher, technologist, advocate, or public servant — your voice belongs here.
How you can contribute
Share your experience
Patients and families: your stories expose the real gaps this act is designed to close. Open an issue on GitHub to share what you've faced.
Open an issue →Propose an amendment
If you see something in the bill that's wrong, incomplete, or could be improved — submit a pull request with your proposed change and your reasoning.
Submit a pull request →Contribute research
Data scientists, health economists, clinicians: bring evidence. The Background Information directory is open for supporting analysis and citations.
View the repository →Contact your representatives
Call or write your Senators and House member. Tell them you support universal coverage and want them to champion it. Constituent contact moves legislation — it matters more than most people think.

This project benefits most from diversity of experience. We especially welcome:
- Patients who have navigated insurance denials, gaps in coverage, or catastrophic medical bills
- Clinicians frustrated by prior authorization and administrative burden
- Health economists and policy researchers who can stress-test the financial models
- Technology professionals who want to help design the National Health Portal
- Advocates for rural communities, disability communities, and underserved populations
- State-level public servants who understand Medicaid transition mechanics
- Constitutional and administrative law experts
- People who disagree with the approach — constructive opposition strengthens legislation
How the project works
The bill text lives in a public GitHub repository. Contributions are made through GitHub Issues (for discussion, questions, and feedback) and Pull Requests (for proposed changes to the bill text or supporting documents).
You don't need to know how to code. GitHub is just a version-controlled document editor here. If you can edit a Word document, you can contribute.
All major changes are debated in the open. The bill evolves through consensus-building, not unilateral edits. A changelog tracks every revision.
