I’m no great fan of the ACA.

I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system.

But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.

This government shut down is all about whether Republicans will get away with raising health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throwing 15 million people off their health care.

We can't allow that to happen.

As profiteering corporations attack Medicare, the Labor Campaign for Single Payer is enlisting state labor federations and central labor councils in a campaign to ensure that traditional Medicare continues to be a true financial option for retirees and unions

HEADS UP: The massive federal budget deficits caused by Trump’s tax breaks for billionaires in his big, ugly bill could trigger automatic cuts to Medicare for the rest of us if Congress does not act, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reported.

What do these healthcare corporations have in common?

Anthem
Centene
CVS
HCA Holdings
Humana
Cigna
Universal Health Services

They avoided $34 BILLION in taxes while hiking costs, denying care, and cutting staff.

Corporate tax cuts don't help anyone but CEOs and shareholders.

Happy Labor Day! As we celebrate & honor the workers & unions who fought (and keep fighting) for the protections we have — though attacked by privatization & authoritarianism — we know that one tremendous victory is still ahead for the Labor Movement: guaranteed comprehensive healthcare for all.

Happy #LaborDay! While big corporations like UnitedHealth Group profit off of our broken health care system, workers and their families endure higher costs and lower quality care.

Our health care system is close to collapse.

Not enough doctors, nurses or dentists.

Costs are skyrocketing.

Trump’s legislation will cause hospitals, nursing homes & community health centers to cut back services.

We need a simple, universal system: Medicare for All.

It rips health care away from 10M+ Americans on Medicaid, all to pay for tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk.

Retired workers, and all people, deserve the highest quality healthcare, and Medicare Advantage isn’t it. But, unions are in a difficult position at the bargaining table, and negotiators don’t always have all the facts. Read this Op-ed about our recent webinar (youtu.be/tqq6d-jBc0s) to learn more:

Medicare for All isn't radical.

What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right.

Don’t believe me?

On Workers Memorial Day, America’s unions mourn the workers who have lost their lives or been injured or ill on the job.

Every worker should be able to go home at the end of the day safe and healthy, and we’ll keep fighting like hell to make that a reality for EVERY worker.
