Topics we cover: the need for health justice beyond just healthcare, the need for disability and trans rights as part of any actual Single-Payer plan, problems with thinking of healthcare only in marketing terms, nursing homes acting like prisons, the successful efforts of Reclaim Idaho and the Maine People's Alliance.
