On Sat., March 22, 2025, hundreds convened at the Local 862 UAW hall to condemn the threats to cut Medicaid, the federal/state program for health care for those with low incomes or disabilities. Over 1.5 million Kentuckians have no other coverage. The majority of recipients are working at jobs that pay too little and don’t provide health insurance.
Moms spoke of the fight to keep their challenged children covered when they get a tiny raise. Almost all of those in nursing homes depend on Medicaid!
Kentuckians for Single Payer Healthcare was there to express support.
As we organize for a national single payer program, free from profit, that covers everyone, we stand against any backward moves. KSPH distributed hundreds of Improved Medicare for All flyers. The response was warm and supportive. The people demand a health care system for people, not profit.
