NNU on the Medicare for All Coalition and the July 30 Day of Action
from America’s Work Force Union Podcast · host BMA Media Group
More than 335 organizations have signed an open letter to every member of Congress calling for Medicare for All. A national day of action is planned for July 30 to mark the 61st anniversary of Medicare's original passage. And nurses say people are arriving at hospitals too sick to be saved because they put off care they could not afford. On today's episode of America's Work Force Union Podcast, National Nurses United President Jamie Brown and Medicare for All Campaign Director Jasmine Ruddy make the case for why this is the most important moment for health care reform in a generation. They discuss what nurses are seeing on the hospital floor as federal cuts take effect, why Medicare for All is a fundamentally labor issue that would remove health coverage from the bargaining table and eliminate employers' ability to threaten benefits during strikes, and how unions, including the UAW and UE, are active partners in the campaign.
