Health Care Reform in Alaska - oil revenues?

Advertisements [?]

Seems like with all that oil extraction revenue, that Alaska could put in a health care system to cover every one in Alaska. This might give ex-Governor Palin something to do.

The Alaska Building and Construction Trades Council did endorse HR 676 - Improved Medicare For All

Alaska natives do have their own version of single-payer and I guess it has worked fairly well, but as health care for many native Americans, it may be underfunded:
