Unions with well-run funds could have a reason for opposing single-payer. Like a lot of other people, if they are happy with their current coverage, there is less reason to rock the boat for an unknown alternative.
The root of this is not corruption, but the fragmentation and implied political disunity underlying an employer-based system.
That’s part of it, but Fitch’s tales of corruption in union-run funds go on for pages. They’re used for self-enrichment and patronage, and the tales go back decades.
