Medicaid was signed into law 60 years ago. Trump's big bill is chiseling it back This summer, President Donald Trump has begun to chisel back Medicaid and food stamps. On a July day in 1965, President Lyndon B.

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

ICE Is Searching a Massive Insurance and Medical Bill Database to Find Deportation Targets The database, called ISO ClaimSearch, is nearly all encompassing and contains details on more than 1.8 billion insurance claims and 58 million medical bills.

And this is why we need Medicare For All + medical debt cancellation + inoculate our entire health care system from the police/deportation/carceral state.

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:

Screenshot of a press release from AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler and Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond: "The nearly 15 million working people of the AFL-CIO and our affiliated unions demand the immediate release of California Federation of Labor Unions Vice President and SEIU California and SEIU-USWW President David Huerta. As the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda has unnecessarily targeted our hard-working immigrant brothers and sisters, David was exercising his constitutional rights and conducting legal observation of ICE activity in his community. He was doing what he has always done, and what we do in unions: putting solidarity into practice and defending our fellow workers. In response, ICE agents violently arrested him, physically injuring David in the process, and are continuing to detain himβ€”a violation of David’s civil liberties and the freedoms this country holds dear. The labor movement stands with David and we will continue to demand justice for our union brother until he is released."

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?

Listen to what these nurses have say:

Workers Memorial Day: Remembering those who lost their lives on the jobβ€”and fighting for safe jobs for every worker | AFL-CIO

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.
