Medicare for All is surging in popularity among all voters, but it is astronomically popular among Democratic votersβ€”with a 90% approval rating.

Elected officials (or those who hope to be elected) should take note.

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, a Twin Cities health care worker who requested to remain anonymous observed that hospital staff felt terror over the potential effects of the disease.

She said that the current situation in America is worse because there is nowhere safe for people to go.

The Birth and Death of Single-Payer in the Democratic Party In 1988, Jesse Jackson ran for president on a platform of uniting workers and pushing universalist policies like single-payer. His success terrified neoliberals in the Democratic Party.

This is especially relevant for Illinois Democrats who have NOT cosponsored Medicare for All ... yet πŸ‘€

When it comes to health coverage, we should really pay attention to what works.

There’s no good reason for millions of people in the U.S. to be uninsured or underinsured.
