Head of nurses union 'counting on' Trump for single-payer system

OAKLAND — As Washington grapples with health care policy again, the head of the 185,000-member National Nurses United is turning her attention to a seemingly unlikely advocate for a single-payer system. "The one I’m counting on the most is Trump,” RoseAnn DeMoro said,

DeMoro, who serves as executive director of both the Oakland-based National Nurses United and the California Nurses Association, told POLITICO California on Thursday that she is “disgusted” with Democrats like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and believes that the president-elect may actually get action.

“He’s a businessman, he has an international perspective — and his wife comes from a country where they have single payer,’’ said DeMoro, who also is an AFL-CIO national vice president and executive board member. “I think that Donald Trump is not about either party; he’s about something very different. He’s the one who can actually rise above this and do what’s right, and he knows as a businessman, it’s the most cost effective,’’ she said.

6. Not the sharpest knives in the drawer I am afraid.

I wouldn’t call them RW, just not that analytical.

7. Someone needs to get their stance on trump now since we know of his incompetence.

That article is over a year old.

9. The article shows poor judgement. No one at DU believed Trump was going to bring Single Payer

at the time this article was written. We were paying attention and knew exactly who Trump was.

3. S.P.A.M. !!!

4. Medicare for all doesn't go far enough as Medicare pays only 80%.

Indiviuals have to come up with the other 20%.

Hospital bills can routinely hit the five and six figure range. Not many can come up with 20k to make up the difference for a 100k bill.

Medicare for all sounds good but needs to be re-thought.

8. MFA is a lovely slogan though.

But basic medicare is not really single payer since I need to buy a supplemental policy to cover the big 20% gap in coverage.
