Health Care for ALL Minnesota

from Gustavus Health Professions Podcast · host Heather Banks

Shouldn't our health care be accessible, affordable and comprehensive? We spoke to volunteers Judy Schultz and Edi Thorstensson, both retired longtime Gustavus employees about the organization Healthcare for All Minnesota,  that advocates for universal single payer for Minnesota - hoping it would spread to all the U.S. but at least to get a better way to organize healthcare in our state.  We learned a lot about the organization, how it got started and how it plans to make these big changes to meet this important goal.  Enjoy the episode.  Below are some additional information to check out regarding this important topic. "Health Care for All Minnesota promotes affordable, high-quality healthcare for every Minnesotan through advocacy, education and community organizing.  Healthcare is an essential human need. Unequal access to healthcare is an injustice. It is  critical to remove the profit motive from healthcare."
