Original: » Eva Marie Saint, Oscar Winner, Dead at 102 BECAUSE THANKS TO HER # LABOR # UNION ― # SAGAFTRA ― SHE HAD HEALTH INSURAN

Actress Eva Marie Saint, who won an Academy Award for On the Waterfront, has died at the age of 102. Alongside tributes to her career, commentators are highlighting that she kept health insurance for most of her adult life through SAG-AFTRA, her labor union, in a country without universal health care. The observation has turned her death into a wider point about the role of unions in American life.

Why now: Her death at 102 prompted tributes and discussion of how union health coverage sustained her in a country without universal health care.
