Manage episode 285569713 series 2815276
An episode dedicated entirely to understanding where we stand in the fight for Single-Payer Healthcare. Pat interviews Stephanie Nakajima, Director of Communications for Healthcare NOW, a grassroots organization fighting to win a national single-payer healthcare system because they believe access to healthcare is basic to human dignity. Topics discussed:
- Abolishing for-profit health insurance is the only way to achieve the efficiency, cost savings, and improved outcomes for all that a single-payer system would provide
- Why a public option won't work
- Why passing single-payer on a state by state basis could be the solution: it was for Canada
- Efficiency of 20+% for private insurance vs. 1-3% for publicly administered healthcare
- California and New York are close to passing a state administered single-payer system
- Our money, paid in the form of premiums to health insurance companies, is helping to fund the lobbyists who fight against a Medicare For All, single-payer system
- How centrists continue to co-opt the arguments made in favor of single-payer, but in favor of private, for-profit healthcare
- What can we do to help move this fight forward?
Medicare For All, Single-Payer Healthcare, Universal Healthcare, Lobbyists, Healthcare as a human right, Congress, the Senate, Employer-based Healthcare, Denmark, Vermont,
