On August 3, 2016, Dave MacCool passed away at his home in Louisville. He worked tirelessly in the single payer movement, serving as one of the top officers of Kentuckians for Single Payer Health Care and carrying more than his share of the load through dozens of marches, programs, films, power point presentations, speak outs, and more. When the nation finally wins universal health care, Dave’s name will be inscribed on the honor roll of those whose work made it happen.
