Medicare for All in Minnesota?

Between Outrageous Drug Prices* and Jaw-Dropping rate hikes** for Minnesota health plans, should we consider Medicare for all in Minnesota?

In 2017, states will be able to get a waiver to set up their own approved health care solution, as long as it meets the standards of the Affordable Care Act. This will allow states to implement single payer systems on a state level. But that leaves many of us wondering:

  • What is Medicare for all?
  • Is it a single payer system? 
  • What are the benefits and risks? 
  • Who would pay for it?  
Join us, for an event co-sponsored by the Minnesota Unitarian Universalist Social Justice Alliance, as Dr. David Dvorak weighs in on the benefits and risks of "Medicare for All" or single-payer health care in Minnesota. 

Dr. Dvorak is an emergency room physician and a member of the Minnesota chapter of Physicians for a National Health Program. Physicians for a National Health Program is a single issue organization advocating for a universal, comprehensive single-payer national health program. PNHP has more than 19,000 members and chapters across the United States.

This event will be our Saint Paul League of Women Voters Monthly Meetup. This event is cosponsored by Minnesota Unitarian Universalist Social Justice Alliance and Conversations on Health Care.
