EVERYBODY IN NOBODY OUT: THE CASE FOR SINGLE PAYER HEALTHCARE (VIDEO
SERIES)
The freight railroads' bargaining arm (the NCCC) has published its
negotiation positions for the current round. As expected, health
insurance benefits are chief among the issues where we remain far apart.

The railroads call our current healthcare benefits an "excessively rich
plan." They say they are "unsustainable," the costs have been
"exceeding for decades," the plan provides "very low member
out-of-pocket costs," and is "inefficient."

They also say that railroad employees "are not engaged" in their
health, "make poor healthcare decisions," "burden" the railroad
companies by making poor "lifestyle" choices like smoking and drinking
too much (20 percent higher than the non-railroad public).

The railroads also got multi-billion dollar federal tax cuts under the
revision of the tax code in 2017. CSX, for instance, received a $3.3
billion windfall from 2016 to 2017. That's just one example.

At the following YouTube link, Brother Mark Dudzic, a former Union
president and Chairman of the United States Labor Party endorses and
painstakingly explains an alternative to the current, broken healthcare
system: a system that would tax corporations and wealthy people in
order to ensure everyone -- men, women, children and elderly -- can see
a doctor without worrying about financial ruin.

Rich people think that your health, and the health of your family, is
just a line item on an accounting sheet. They do not care about you. At
least not enough to ensure your affordable access to medical care.
