“Enough to a system that lets billionaires profit off our pain. Enough to a health care industry that’s run like a hedge fund. Enough to a government that listens to lobbyists before it listens to working class people.
 

“We are here to demand Medicare for All—not as a luxury, not as some dream—but as a basic right.”
 

Dustin Reinstedler, President, Kentucky State AFL-CIO, May 31, 2025
