Single-payer / Medicare-for-all organizations in the US

If you want to get involved in the fight for Medicare-for-all, the best way to start is to get involved with an organization already deeply involved in the campaign. Below is a consolidated list of all single-payer and Medicare-for-all organizations in the United States. Since health care in the US frequently devolves to the states, many single-payer organizations are working at the state level. Some of these organizations are exclusively dedicated to single-payer healthcare, others are dedicated to healthcare issues in general, and others are dedicated to progressive causes in general. Let me know of any changes I need to make!
