Activists in New York and elsewhere say they are working to learn from California's failure to pass government-run, universal healthcare.
Even in this deep-blue bastion,that would have put state government in charge of healthcare and taxed Californians heavily to do so — a massive transformation that would have forced them to take on the powerful healthcare industry.
“We’re also fighting in New York, but just like in California, there’s not 100% Democratic consensus among legislators,” said Ursula Rozum, co-director of the Campaign for New York Health, which is working to pass single-payer legislation. “It feels like a constant question of ‘Can we win this?’” But Rozum and single-payer activists in Colorado, Washington state, and elsewhere say that rather than giving up, they are taking key lessons from California’s failure: It is essential to win — and keep — support from the governor. Groups pushing single-payer care must unite Democrats, bringing in business-friendly moderates and broader support from organized labor.
