Last week, over one hundred nurses and activists joined us for our first webinar in our summer series, The Fight for the Future of Health Care. If you couldn’t make it to the webinar, don’t worry — you can watch a full recording of the event here.

In particular, we took a close look at how underserved communities and marginalized health care workers carry the heaviest burden of our broken health care system, and how these dangerous “Home All Alone” schemes will disproportionately affect people of color and rural communities.
There’s a lot we’re up against — as one attendee put it, “I didn’t realize all this was going on in the health care industry.” But the good news is that nurses are fighting back against these dangerous new practices to ensure patients get the hands-on care they need, and you can be part of that effort.
Our fight for Medicare for All is not just about winning guaranteed health care for all. It's about ensuring that every patient has the high-quality, direct care of registered nurses and other professional caregivers — not left at home to take care of themselves with an iPad, a smartwatch, or nothing at all.
Thanks for taking the time and watching. We look forward to continuing our fight for health care justice with you.
In solidarity,
Nurses’ Campaign to Win Medicare for All
