Runaway Inequality and the Crisis in U.S. Health Care
Runaway Inequality and the Crisis in U.S. Healthcare is an in-depth examination of the U.S. healthcare system developed specifically for union audiences. It explores:
How our healthcare system compares to other countries, and who really benefits from it
How healthcare costs affect collective bargaining
How our system isn’t designed to deliver healthcare; it’s designed to deliver profits.
How our healthcare system deepens runaway inequality.
How we can afford to provide good health care for everyone.
The jobs related to healthcare insurance that would be eliminated under Medicare for All and how the labor movement can fight for a fair and equitable transition for those workers.
Lessons from the Canadian healthcare system.
How we’ll win excellent, affordable healthcare for everyone.
