Here is a clear overview of the national health care crisis, the 
inadequacies of Obamacare, and the argument for an 'everybody in, nobody 
out' Single Payer health program. Andrew Coates, MD, gives a motivating 
presentation of the basics in this debate, backed up by selected 
PowerPoint graphics prepared by Physicians for a National Health Program 
(PNHP) and the Illinois Single-Payer Coalition. Dr. Coates has many 
titles (President, PNHP; Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine and 
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Albany Medical College; Chief of 
Hospital Medicine, Samaritan Hospital, Troy, NY; Medical Director, 
Albany County Nursing Home). The talk was recorded at Access Living 
Chicago on May 8, 2014.

Dr. Coates concludes that insurers are selling an "unaffordable, 
defective product", as he compares the U.S. health care system to other 
industrialized countries. We are a nation of increasingly un- and 
under-insured, facing staggering household debt from medical bills, and 
in particular exposing under-insured children, women, minorities and 
retirees to increasing fatality rates and poor health, in order to 
satisfy a market solution to health care.

He points to the 2013 AFL-CIO resolution's "commitment to pursue health 
care for all ultimately through a single-payer system" as an important 
step forward.

Dr. Coates calls upon the union movement: "I think that for the trade 
union movement that if we speak out for what it means for all working 
people we're talking about liberating the whole country here with basic 
economic rights, the right to necessary care. Then we find a way forward 
for the whole trade union movement. The unions they have the expertise, 
they know how to lead us forward, they know exactly how to organize 
people, how to fight...and it's going to take a fight. There's no 
shortcut."
