Take Action
The Labor Campaign for Single Payer receives no corporate or foundation monies. All of our funding comes from unions and individuals who believe that labor must lead the fight for healthcare justice. Please help by making a generous contribution today and consider becoming a monthly sustainer.
The Labor Campaign believes that we will win healthcare for all when the labor movement commits all of its resources and organizing capacity to the fight for healthcare justice. We need your help to get your union, Central Labor Council and other labor-based organizations to join this effort.
UNION IMPACT SURVEY: The Labor Campaign wants to learn about your experiences with our country's healthcare system and your priorities for changes in that system. Please know that your responses will only be viewed by our internal campaign leadership.
What Is It? An Attack on Medicare, Marketed as “Innovation”
During the Trump Administration, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Center launched a “Direct Contracting Entities” (DCEs) pilot, which has continued under the Biden Administration by a new name, ACO REACH, permitting Accountable Care Organizations — which can be insurance companies or investment firms — to be for-profit middlemen, collecting money from the federal government to reimburse primary care providers for Medicare patients. This could turn traditional Medicare primary care, and possibly other medical care, into a “Medicare Advantage”-type program. The ACO REACH program creates incentives for insurance companies and other for-profit corporations to restrict or deny access to healthcare under the guise of saving money.
