Corporations, not immigrants, are responsible for most health care fraud! Of course we know this...but it's nice to see it documented and publicized.

Trump officials are focused on immigrants, but the Department of Health and Human Services report on healthcare fraud doesn’t even mention them.

Has everyone seen this recent research from Yale? Confirming once again that single payer health care - especially national! - could cover everyone and save the system vast amounts of $.

A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it

Sign a petition - to insist that the 2027 Oregon legislature act to keep universal health care a priority! It's an easy action!

Sign our petition to send a clear message to our state legislators: Give Universal Health Care in Oregon a FAIR SHOT.

The state-sponsored Universal Health Plan Governance Board (UHPGB) is building their Universal Health Plan.

This plan will be submitted in September but could disappear if it is not written into a bill that is then introduced to the 2027 Legislative Session.

This week, over 335 organizations including labor unions, advocates for seniors and people with disabilities, women’s rights organizations, and more, released an open letter to those seeking to reform the health care system, laying out why now is the time for Medicare for All. APWU is proud to add...

" The candidates who win on health care in 2026 and beyond won’t be the ones who make the most technically sophisticated case for single-payer, or those who declare that health care is a human right. They’ll be the ones who make insurance companies the villain, talk about the ludicrous medical debt carried by American workers as the economic emergency it is, frame universal coverage as increasing rather than decreasing personal freedom, and pitch the program as the return on a lifetime of hard work rather than a new government program."

Working-class voters already back Medicare for All. Framed like Social Security — as a benefit earned from work, not a handout — it can reach two-thirds support.
