Martin Luther King and Health Care Reform

Dr. King once said, "Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane."

In a 2006 op-ed in the Charlotte News & Observer, Richard Payne wrote, "Is there any doubt that King would have been on the forefront of arguments for payment of a living wage to the working poor, and that he would have advocated for universal health care?"
