It's a special day!
Nurses Week kicks off today with National Nurses Day, a time to celebrate and uplift nurses across the country who care for us and our loved ones and have been leading the fight for Medicare for All for decades.
Our current broken health care system is bad for both patients and health care workers like nurses. People in the United States pay more for health care than anywhere else in the world, but experience lower health outcomes than other industrialized countries.
Nurses see firsthand how patients are often forced to choose between taking care of their health or paying other bills, with too many people rationing or skipping medication and medical care altogether because they simply can’t afford it.
In a corporate health care system, nurses and other health care workers are treated as expendable.
That’s why nurses have long called for a single-payer health care system in the United States that guarantees comprehensive care for all regardless of income, employment, or ability to pay.
Together, let’s keep up the fight alongside nurses for a health care system that prioritizes people over profits.
In solidarity,
Jasmine Ruddy
