Join us as Bonnie Shepard from the Cape Cod Coalition for Universal Health Care discusses Medicare for All in Massachusetts, a bill which would provide universal health coverage for all state residents without co-pays, premiums, or deductibles, through a single payer — the Massachusetts Health Care Trust.
The political obstacles to passage of the bill in the State House reveal a lack of democracy and transparency, and the role of industry lobbyists. The high costs and poor health outcomes of the current for-profit system will be summarized, with a focus on the abuses of Medicare Advantage plans. This bill would ban private insurance coverage for services already covered by the single-payer system.
Bonnie will discuss the strategy being used on the Cape to compare the current costs of health insurance for towns with the costs under Medicare for All, showing significant savings both for towns and town employees, including the savings found in Eastham. She will also summarize the new economic analysis from Mass-Care, showing eye-popping savings for the whole state. We will wrap up with an explanation of what we hope to achieve through the citizen’s petition at town meeting, which includes follow-up after the meeting by Eastham town leaders and citizens.
Learn more at 10 a.m. on Sunday, April 19, 2026. All are welcome.
At the Chapel in the Pines, 220 Samoset Road in Eastham. Doors open at 9:30.

Richard Shindell lives as both an immigrant and emigrant, crossing thresholds, that informs his illumination of the human experience through narrative song. Shindell has inhabited a Zen Buddhist monastery and busked in the streets of Paris.
Originally from New York, now living in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures, tell stories, juxtapose ideas and images, inhabit characters, vividly evoking entire worlds along the way and expanding our sense of just what it is a song may be. Meticulously recorded over three years in New York and Buenos Aires, his most recent release, Careless, offered an ambitious, luxurious, full- length statement. Shindell immersed himself in the studio, allowing the time and latitude to explore, experiment, take risks—to play—as each of these eleven songs was given form and substance. While his signature acoustic guitar style is used to good effect, Careless also found Shindell plugging in more. “The wider sonic and dynamic range of the electric has been a real inspiration. Rejuvenating.”
