• Single-payer health bill hits milestone after 30 years (gazettenet.com) — South Hadley is among 23 Massachusetts communities whose councils have passed resolutions backing a new Medicare for All bill that just cleared a key legislative committee for the first time in 30 years. The measure now creates a commission to study single-payer models, costs, and equitable implementation, potentially shaping future statewide healthcare reform that would affect local residents’ coverage and costs.
