You'll find a link to watch this special, “US Healthcare After Covid: What's Next & How Could It Be Better?,” and episode notes posted at Patreon.com/theLFShow  along with an invitation to join guests and Laura for a live premiere and chat event to view this week's episode . The Medicare for All Act was reintroduced into the U.S. House in March with a record number of cosponsors and public support. But while the idea of a public single payer system has never been more popular, the relationship of Americans to their healthcare has never been more fraught. With over 500,000 Americans dead from Covid-19 and millions without access to coverage, it's clear that we need change. But what sort of change? Laura speaks with health economist Dana Brown and two outspoken nurses in public hospitals, one in Veterans Affairs, who know intimately the pros and cons of the American healthcare system. We praised nurses loudly in the last year but will we listen to them, now, on what needs to be done next to make US healthcare better for patients, caregivers, and everyone?    Music in the Middle:  “America's Real Pandemic” by Mikki Afflick featuring Janine 'Sugah Lyrics' Lyons courtesy of Soul Sun Soul Music.Today we'll talk with economist Dana Brown who comes to us from the Democracy Collaborative where she' s Director of the Next Systems Project.  She argues that the United States already has a public model that works.  It's not perfect but we don't have to import a system from elsewhere. And we'll hear from two nurses who know intimately the pros and cons of our current system.  Linda Ward Smith is a department of Veterans Affairs Nurse, and  President of the American Federation of Government Employees, (AFGE)  Local 1224, representing 3,000 nurses in Las Vegas.  And Kelley Cabrera is an emergency room nurse at Jacobi, a public hospital in the Bronx, New York. She's a member and lead bargainer for her unit of the New York State Nurses Association or NYSNA. 

In this eighth episode of Black Work Talk, host Steven Pitts welcomes Michelle Crentsil, political director for the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA). The members of NYSNA have been through hell this past year dealing with the extreme conditions caused by COVID and federal government ineptitude. We talked about these struggles and the reality that the pandemic has forged greater solidarity among nurses and led them to advocate for structural changes in the health care system based on their experiences this past year. As the conversation moved toward Black workers, Michelle talked about the need to see how Black workers are impacted by race and class and the inability to see both of these intertwined factors will result in organizations being largely irrelevant to the Black community.

Nurses represented by the New York State Nurses Association have authorized a one-day strike after rejecting a contract offer from Albany Medical Center Hospital. On this podcast we take you outside the hospital where nurses and supporters have gathered to talk about working conditions in the hospital and to explain why nurses have been pushed to the point of walking out during one of the worst pandemics of our time.  Take action -> https://nysna.salsalabs.org/respectalbanymednurses/index.html or call Dennis McKenna and tell him to negotiate a fair contract (518-262-3830)
