Healthcare Is a Human Right Campaign and Universal Healthcare in Vermont

We speak with James Haslam, Executive Director of the Vermont Workers Center, about their Healthcare Is a Human Right Campaign. 

Since 2008, the Healthcare Is a Human Right Campaign has been working to make universal healthcare a reality in Vermont. In 2011, their people’s movement succeeded in getting a groundbreaking law passed: Act 48, which commits Vermont to creating a healthcare system providing healthcare as a public good and ensuring everyone can get the healthcare they need, when they need it.
