In this episode of The Benefits Brief, host David Saltzman sits down with NABIP Past President Beth Ashmore to share the deeply personal story of losing her mother while she was visiting England—an experience that profoundly shaped Beth’s perspective on single-payer healthcare. More than 30 years later, Beth reflects on that experience and the important questions it raises as conversations continue around Medicare for All, single-payer healthcare, and the public option, including healthcare access, cost, resource allocation, and patient advocacy. She also discusses why benefits professionals have an important role in these conversations and encourages NABIP members to stay informed, get involved, and use their voices to help shape the future of healthcare policy.
