Why every Chamber of Commerce should be supporting single payer

Single-payer system could remove burden from employers

Flat out, businesses should not be involved in providing employee health care at all, but that leaves either individual insurance or a public pool. Our politicians should create a single-payer Medicare-for-all system that is funded by our national infrastructure instead of the mish-mash of payments and non-payments. That’s what most advanced nations have done, and it works.

Rockland councilor proposes resolution supporting universal healthcare for Americans

Elizabeth "Lizzie" Dickerson is a first term city councilor in my town of Rockland. I've known her as an acquaintance for many years now - from when I shopped at the Good Tern Coop when it was still on South Main Street.

I learned that Councilor Dickerson would be proposing a resolution this evening to the Rockland City Council, to be placed on the agenda of that body's next meeting. A resolution "Supporting Universal Healthcare for Americans."
