Abstract
After a brief introduction to earlier efforts to create a universal healthcare system in the United States, I use archival data and oral history interviews to analyze the narrative practice and grassroots activity of the Single Payer Movement (SPM) during the Clinton era of Healthcare Reform. Specifically, I examine how the SPM worked to overcome the dominant narrative that single-payer was not politically feasible by working to mobilize political support for single-payer through the promotion of single-payer legislation at the state and federal level. Although healthcare reform was not achieved in this era, it was defined as a somewhat successful era for the SPM.
