After listening to "Episode 7: Current Medicare For All Proposals," we hope listeners have a better understanding of what the goals and objectives of Medicare For All are and how the passage of Medicare For All would impact healthcare workers and Americans. Stephanie discusses other efforts around healthcare reform, their merits, and whether they solve system problems. She also reflects on Medicare For All as a movement and tool that leaders like Senator Sanders are using to build momentum toward comprehensive healthcare reform. Jake, Stacey, and Stephanie also reflect on how complex and difficult the current system is for Americans.

After listening to "Bonus: U.S. State Health Reform,"  we hope listeners have a better understanding of what healthcare reform looks like at a State level. You'll learn how Vermont established the foundation for its own Single Payer system and how national health reform and "marketing" got in the way. Bill worked with Bernie Sanders on Medicare For All and with Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin on Vermont's single-payer healthcare plan. Bill now is working with Governor Newsom's Healthy California For All Commission. You'll hear a bit about Jake and Stacey's home states.
