Maria Torres-Lopez from NNU will do a brief presentation about the most salient points of Medicare for All and then open the floor for questions and brief comments. All in a relaxed atmosphere. \nMedicare for All/Medicare para Todos \nAstronomical health care costs and lack of access continue to drive individuals\, families\, and businesses past their breaking point while insurance companies continue to soak-up billions of health care dollars. Medicare has provided guaranteed health care for millions of seniors for more than 51 years. It’s time we have a Medicare for All\, single-payer health care system that would end health disparities\, effectively control costs\, and assure that everyone has equal access to an excellent standard of care. \nMeeting Details: \nTuesday\, April 22\, 2025 \n8:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87983672715?pwd=tWjocux5bOVIOr89Mh57UYjlbj5EiS.1 \nMeeting ID: 879 8367 2715\nPasscode: 081812 URL:https://laborcommunityalliance.org/event/podcast-on-medicare-for-all-medicare-para-todos-with-lca-the-national-nurses-union/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://laborcommunityalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/medicare-for-all.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Labor Community Alliance":MAILTO:l.canizares@aol.com; jcoa125@aol.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250419T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250419T130000 DTSTAMP:20260415T041816 CREATED:20250415T232654Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250416T033140Z UID:1100-1745056800-1745067600@laborcommunityalliance.org SUMMARY:National Day of Action Miami DESCRIPTION:🚨 This isn’t just a protest—it’s a full-scale mobilization.

Don’t buy anything on that date. Do it for your family. Do it for yourself. Do it for the American people. We still have an opportunity to save this nation from falling off the cliff unto the darkness of fascism. \nThere are 350 million of us and even if just a quarter follow the call to withhold our buying power\, the blow to the Greed Addicts that are driving this wonderful nation into fascism will be a powerful blow to that Greed Machine leading the charge. \nIf only a quarter of us refuse to buy on February 28th it will be a powerful blow\, imagine what will happen if three-quarters of us do it. It will be a devastating blow. The Greed Machine believe that they could do whatever they want because we are too stupid and afraid to fight back. They believe they can continue to raise our rents by $500 per month as they have done to numerous people in Miami and many places across the nation. \nAfter February 28 hopefully the Greed Machine will think twice about raising food prices as they have done while making enormous amounts of profits. Let’s hope they’ll think twice about spending almost a trillion dollars in the military while cutting programs that benefit the vast majority of the people. Healthcare is a Human Right for all economically developed nations in the world except here. We need this National Day of Economic Resistance to make sure that the American people are respected and the destruction of all the good things this nation has achieved are not thrown into the trashcan. \nThe closing of the Departments of Labor and Education point to a downsizing of the living and educational standards of the American people. The Department of Labor is supposedly to operate as a safeguard of the rights of working people and even if we criticize it for not doing enough\, the little good they do will be wiped away as the Greed Machine tries to maximize profits. \nThe Department of Education will continue the march through the nation to privatize education. You just need to look to countries where education is mainly conducted through private schools\, and granted the education provided by private schools is usually good\, but that only goes for the children of the families that could afford private schools. Public schools\, in those nations\, are a disaster because the funding is minimal and places that are difficult to get to\, like rural areas\, the schools are almost nonexistent. \nFriday\, February 28th will provide the American people a chance to give a wake-up call to those that have come together as members of the Greed Machine to exploit the American people to the maximum to mend their ways and Make America Great Again by going back to the social contract that was achieved through The New Deal. \nTime is running out to save this great nation. February 28 provides a chance to deliver the message. Let’s hope one message will be enough.
