Our podcast guest this week is Sally Pipes, PRI president and Thomas W. Smith Fellow in Health Care. Sally discusses two health care bills that are wending their way through the legislature. Senate bill 770 is a new bill sponsored by Senator Scott Wiener – a more incremental approach to single-payer. The other bill, sponsored by Assemblyman Ash Kalra, is one that we've seen in the past, an approach that would mean a complete takeover of health care by state government. She also updates listeners on Sen. Bernie Sanders' new efforts at the federal level.

Marc Joffe—Policy Analyst at the CATO Institute—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest editorial for National Review, “Is the Biden Administration Creating a Medicaid Fiscal Cliff?” Joffe writes: “By continuing to needlessly extend the Covid-19 state of emergency, the Biden administration is making Medicaid even more financially unsustainable than it already was.” According to data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), more than a quarter of “Americans are now enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP.” Could this rapid expansion lead to single-payer healthcare?  Read more at: https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/11/is-the-biden-administration-creating-a-medicaid-fiscal-cliff/

Ben discusses the “Inflation Reduction Act,” which was signed into law by President Biden this past week! In last-minute negotiations between Senators Chuck Schumer and Joe Manchin, the Senate finally - after comical failures over and over this past year - passed a VERY scaled-down version of the Build Back Better bill. The “IRA” bill - clearly they intensively focus-grouped that title - is overwhelmingly a package of environmental policies, but does include some healthcare provisions for Medicare recipients. Joining us today, in a throwback-Monday episode, is Stephanie Nakajima, the Executive Director of Mass-Care: the Massachusetts Campaign for Single Payer Healthcare. https://youtu.be/IMUYN2p_Ymg Show Notes With Gillian on vacation, Stephanie rejoins to co-host this pod! Stephanie is currently the ED of Mass-Care, the Massachusetts Medicare for All organization, and through a massive grassroots effort they recently put M4A questions on the ballot in TWENTY state representative districts. The questions are non-binding, but powerful tools for convincing elected officials to support Medicare for All, if they don't already. As any show on the Inflation Reduction Act should, we begin by ridiculing the title of the bill, which has nothing to do with inflation, as well as the "IRA" acronym, which apparently no one thought about?!? Ben takes a sad walk down memory lane to recap the social provisions that HAD been included in the previous version of this legislation: the Build Back Better bill: A child tax credit up to $300 per child; child care subsidies; and free universal preschool - all out of the IRA;Paid family leave of up to 4 weeks - out;Tripling the earned income tax credit for low-income workers - out;Much of this was paid for by new taxes on the wealthy, and on big businesses Stephanie talks about the four things the Medicare for All movement pushed for to be included in Build Back Better: Let Medicare negotiate prescription drug costs, which should save billions of dollars and help pay for expanding Medicare in several ways, including;Lowering the eligibility age of Medicare to 60, or as low as we can get it;Giving traditional (public) Medicare enrollees an out-of-pocket cap, like most private insurance has; and finallyAdding dental, vision, and hearing benefits to Medicare. We had success in each of these categories except lowering the age of Medicare under BBB, but did any of this survive under the Inflation Reduction Act? Some! Here are the healthcare provisions included in the IRA: DOES allow Medicare to negotiate the prices of some prescription drugs - it starts with just 10 drugs in 2025, then increases to 20 drugs in 2029. (Medicare covers over 3,500 drugs - so less than a half of 1% of drugs will be negotiated!)We did NOT win a general out-of-pocket spending cap for Medicare recipients, but we DID win a couple of more specific caps.The bill creates an OOP prescription drug cap of $2,000 for Medicare recipients starting in 2025.The bill also caps insulin spending at $35/mo. Dems tried to extend this insulin spending cap not just to Medicare recipients, but to everyone in the country, but the Senate parliamentarian said they can't do that through a reconciliation bill (limited to federal spending and income items).Finally, although this wasn't one of our priorities in the M4A movement, the ACA subsidies that were expanded by the COVID relief bill, but were scheduled to expire at the end of this year, have been extended three more years. We had won some dental, vision, and hearing benefits under the original BBB bill, but all of that was taken out, so there is no expansion of Medicare benefits under the IRA, unfortunately! What's our overall assessment of the IRA? Stephanie says the climate provisions are enough to justify the existence of this bill. Yet it's such a missed opportunity for Dems to shore up support on one of the issues that consistently ranks amo...

Members of Kentuckians for Single Payer Healthcare attend a March and Rally in Washington, D.C. to celebrate the 57th anniversary of the signing of the bill establishing the Medicare Program and advocate for an Improved and Expanded National Nonprofit Medicare for All Program.

Kentuckians for Single Payer Healthcare members discuss the birth of Medicare including its civil rights and medical care desegregation component, privatization efforts, Medicare drug policies and costs to patients

There's some adult language in this episode, so might not be appropriate for our youngest M4A advocates. The recent leak of what is likely to be the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade has us enraged about the future of abortion and healthcare in America. Spoiler: We aren't loving the fact that five fucking reactionary clowns can take away the bodily autonomy of half the population of the US. Today, we're making the case for why abortion access and - more broadly, reproductive justice - must be part of the Medicare for all movement.  Our guest is Stephanie Nakajima, Executive Director of Mass-Care: the Massachusetts Campaign for Single-Payer Healthcare. (But most importantly: former Director of Communications for Healthcare-NOW and former co-host of the Medicare for All podcast!) Show Notes Thanks to the Hyde Amendment (passed in 1976), federal funds (like Medicaid or insurance plans for federal/state employees) cannot be used to pay for a person's abortion, unless that person became pregnant through rape, incest, or their life is in danger. This was a direct response to the original Roe v. Wade decision It has been reenacted every year since, likely because legislators feel like it's too much of a hot button issue to mess with (i.e., we should just be happy for the access that is available and try not to push it further) This isn't the case in most developed countries. For example, Ireland and Italy, which are famous for their devout Catholic populaces, even allow for publicly funded abortions.  About 87% of employer-sponsored insurance plans cover medical and surgical abortion services. However: That means only people who have private insurance have access to these services, unless you live in one of the 17 states that fund abortions through state healthcare 10 states in the US don't even allow private insurance to cover abortion (Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Idaho, Utah, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan) Stephanie has been the leading voice uplifting the importance of reproductive health in the single payer movement. Reproductive care, like most healthcare, is often out of reach for people who are uninsured or underinsured. In addition to the barriers to get an abortion (like protestors, 24 hour waiting periods, mandatory ultrasounds) the cost of the procedure. If you are poor and/or your healthcare plan is funded by the government, you are paying out of pocket for these services (the average cost of 1st trimester abortion in a non-hospital setting in the US is $508, costs increase into the thousands in later trimesters.) When we talk about "choice" we're talking about whether a person has a legal right to an abortion or will they be forced to give birth. By reframing the narrative around reproductive freedom, we broaden the conversation to include abortion rights as well as access to affordable or publicly-funded reproductive care, the right to have children, and access to services to raise and care for children like healthcare, childcare, a living wage, and paid family leave. Shifting to a Medicare for All system would have profound impacts on access to reproductive care - for better or potentially for worse - the M4A movement has NOT always had a great track record in supporting reproductive care. Many in the movement feel it's a separate issue that we should leave alone for fear of it taking down the chances of M4A. But if we don't fight for inclusion of this extremely common healthcare procedure in a M4A system, we are erasing the healthcare needs of a wide swath of the population. In 2016, Colorado's single-payer ballot initiative - Amendment 69 overlooked abortion access, which led to opposition from NARAL ProChoice Colorado and Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, which provided cover for most of the Democratic Party in the state to also oppose the ballot initiative. In large part to the catastrophic impact their single payer b...

In this episode, Pat talks to Jason Call, candidate for Congress in Washington's 2nd District, about the need for Single-Payer Healthcare, the outsized influence of money in our political system, and what Call has been working for through Progressive Activism in the last 30 years. Jason Call started as a public school teacher and has been active in trying to get the Washington State Democratic Party to focus on Grassroots sources of funding instead of taking money from corporate lobbyists. Also discussed is the push for Single Payer healthcare in Washington State, which Jason has been doing through the group Whole Washington. Jason provides an example of how the lax regulation of Boeing jets, because of corporate influence on the regulatory committee, led to the 747 Max crashes. In the open, Dan, Pat, and CMoney define the term "Regulatory Capture" and give examples to help listeners understand this detrimental practice. Also discussed were the efforts to pass single payer at the state level, some recent Union wins, and more.

This was the second serious scare of single payer in 5 years for California, but this one was a double threat, as it included the funding source to pay for Single Payer in a constitutional amendment with nearly $290 Billion in new corporate and individual taxes.
