On today’s program, Kay Tillow, Nancy Crew, and Paul Hoppe, members of Kentuckians for Single Payer Health Care discuss the importance of getting a Medicare For All bill passed in Congress with special guest Randy Raley, who is a candidate for Congress from the 15th district in Southern Illinois. Mr. Raley is an advocate for Medicare for all and believes that health care is a human right. Due to the current administration’s budget cuts to healthcare plus the tariffs that have been imposed by the administration, the large farming district that Mr. Raley would represent is being hammered on two fronts. Farmers are being priced completely out of the healthcare market and at risk of even losing their farms.
