Description

Everyone gets sick, but not everyone can access healthcare when they need it. The Affordable Care Act has expanded access, but millions are still left out, and most people with insurance still struggle to afford the care they need. In Pennsylvania and in states across the country, a growing movement is demanding that healthcare become a human right that's accessible for every person. What will it take to make this happen? Three leaders on the front lines of this struggle share their insights and experiences. A conversation with Nijmie Dzurinko, a leader of Put People First PA, Mark Dudzic, national organizer with the Labor Campaign for Single Payer, and Marty Harrison, a nurse and member of the Pennsylvania Association of Staff Nurses and Allied Professionals (PASNAP).Everyone gets sick, but not everyone can access healthcare when they need it.
