YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

As Republicans continue their push for their healthcare plan, polls show support for a nationwide singlepayer healthcare system is growing. At least one poll shows a full third of Americans are now in favor of a national singlepayer system, while 60 percent believe the federal government should be responsible for healthcare. In one state, the California Senate passed a singlepayer bill, but the House speaker killed it in the Assembly. We get an update from Michael Lighty, with National Nurses United and the California Nurses Association.
