American universal healthcare would mean eliminating a huge pile of profits for healthcare-related companirs that are effectively just charging you rent for the privilege of going to a doctor. Those companies are large donors and fund think tanks that spread PR about how it is actually fiscally irresponsible to pay less for healthcare while changing where the balance sheet is calculated and what will happen to all of those jobs predicated on wasting your time and money to get healthcare?
You will not get universal healthcare, let alone single payer healthcare, without having some kind of leverage and using it in a disciplined way. And unless you are a CEO, your leverage can only come from collective organizing, of power in numbers, of political education so that everyone in the org is practically aligned on these goals and will noy disintegrate or be coopted by liberals.
Corpo's are loaded with bootlickers to ensure that nor organizing can happen...
There are but so many times any reasonable person can get fucked over before they opt out of that exercise.
Yeah that is basically the modern strategy of having way too many managers. It works against workplace organizing.
Though this is a double edged sword because they are setting uo thr conditions for a return to militant labor organizing.
