DESCRIPTION:Health care workers, especially nurses, are in the forefront of today's 
 highly visible effort to achieve single payer health care. However, the 
 focus on single payer comes on the heels of two decades of a new kind of 
 labor movement in the health care workplace over the issues of speedup and 
 restructuring. This is the tenth anniversary of the California Nurses' 
 Association 18 month wave of strikes at Kaiser HMO in which they won some 
 unprecedented contractual rights over the care they provide. Health care is 
 now over one seventh of the U.S. economy. The forces that make work an 
 alienating experience under capitalism have thoroughly infected the health 
 care workplace, where there's a constant struggle with bean counting 
 overlords who constrain the concrete labor of delivering care. This session 
 will address how the struggle against what Marx called alienated labor has 
 helped shape the demand for single payer and reaches beyond any law that 
 that keeps capitalism intact.\n\n\n
