Single Payer is good for union workers. Obviously.

7. As a union member my concern is quality of care.

I have to say that I really don’t have any idea how Medicare works. Is it whatever the problem is, it’s taken care of with little to no out of pocket expenses? Because that’s what I have now. Anything, no matter what it is, gets taken care of under my union negotiated plan. No deductible, five dollar prescriptions, five dollar doctor visits including specialists, dental, vision etc. Literally, the best there is. I won’t go into the specifics of how important this has been for my family but I will say it has been life saving. Without the level of care it provides, things would be radically different in my life.

Does Medicare just cover everything like that? If it does what my private insurance does and includes everyone at half the cost of what I’m paying, I don’t see how anyone could be against it.

The problem is, I don’t see how it’s possible to do that.

Can anyone shed some light on how this would all work? Because our main concern as union members is having our great coverage taken away and replaced with something not so great.
