Labor's "Medicare for All" Advocates Test Strength

Mischa Gaus, Labor Notes: "Labor activists from 31 states gathered in St. Louis last weekend, solidifying their strategies to push 'Medicare for All' - and to oppose the half-hearted health care plans circulating in Washington. The meeting launched Labor for Single-Payer Healthcare, a campaign whose reform would cut the insurance industry out of health care and expand an improved Medicare system to everyone. The single-payer concept has been endorsed by 39 state AFL-CIO federations, 100 central labor councils, and more than 400 local unions."
