Who exactly is Nurses United? My wife has been a nurse for almost thirty years and she never heard of them? "Medicare for all", they shouted. Huh? Medicare is for seniors. We pay all of our working lives into Medicare to it will be there for us when we retire. "Robin Hood tax?" Most nurses can have a 401k plan or a 403b plan and guess where they invest? Yep, Wall Street mutual funds.
