ANA nurses not ready to follow union on Medicare For All

The American Nurses Association isn’t ready to join a growing movement of union nurses in backing the single payer version of Medicare for All as medical care providers sort out how to support an expansion of healthcare coverage. Like many national physician groups, nurses generally support universal health coverage, but they aren’t all ready to throw their weight behind a Medicare for All approach that would upend the private insurance industry’s role in administering health benefits.
