JayB Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 "Ironically, the Administration's own signature healthcare victory poses one of the most immediate challenges to redressing inequality. Yes, the Affordable Care Act will help many more Americans gain some health insurance coverage, a significant step forward for equality. At the same time, without smart fixes, the ACA threatens the middle class with higher premiums, loss of hours, and a shift to part-time work and less comprehensive coverage."

tvashtarkatena Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Yes, this is yet one of many excellent arguments for single payer. On the flip side, there really aren't any credible arguments against single payer at this point. Private health insurance companies has proven that the profit motive and providing health care are at odds. They need to go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayB Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 All very convincing and compelling gents, but what to do about the folks at "UNITE HERE [which] represents members across North America who work in the hospitality industry, airports, food service, gaming, laundry, textile, manufacturing, and Transportation" industries. Very puzzling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crux Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Obviously, we either need to implement single payer, or see those industries shut down. Point taken. Edited March 13, 2014 by Crux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
