Guaranteed Healthcare

Great news for the single-payer movement: a majority of state federations of labor have now endorsed guaranteed, single-payer healthcare!  (Well, ok, 25 out of 50, but one of them is MD-DC.)  This follows on the heels of the recent announcement by the national AFL-CIO that they are pushing Medicare for All.  Do not discount how important this is…guaranteed, single-payer healthcare now becomes the only proposal with an organized, powerful constituency pushing for it. 

More labor endorsements are coming every day…Here’s what Oregon has to say:

The resolution continues, ". . . (T)he fundamental principal of the labor movement -- that fragmentation leads to weakness while solidarity leads to strength -- is a powerful tool that can be applied to create a consolidated, single payer American healthcare system."
