Jan. 27, 2025 | U.S. LABOR | My father was a family doctor in the mid-twentieth century whose main political issue was socialized medicine, which he preached against to his “large, poor family,” as he liked to describe us. Dad never turned away a patient who couldn’t pay and brought in indigent patients from his office to have dinner with us. Yet he couldn’t see the parallel between the security he offered patients and the security socialized medicine would have offered him and all of his patients. My cousins, on the other hand, were truck drivers, and so is my brother-in-law; all were members of unions. Their unions saved them, being working class, with decent salaries, retirement benefits, and health packages.
