YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHealth experts say, given the shortcomings of both the Affordable Care Act and Republican proposals, now is the time to move forward with a simple Medicareforall system, known as single payer. In 2015, even Donald Trump appeared to come out in favor of a form of singlepayer health insurance. About 20,000 U.S. physicians now support singlepayer healthcare, and National Nurses United, the biggest nursing union in the country, is also pushing for the program that would guarantee universal coverage. We speak with Dr. Steffie Woolhandler, a key advocate for Medicare for all.
