The nation's union workers have a lot to lose if Socialists succeed in replacing free market, private enterprise health care with a single-payer, government system, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) warned Monday.

In a social media post sharing video of far-left Democrat Michigan Senate candidate Abul El-Sayed, Rep. Gill explained that union members stand to lose benefits they've fought long and hard for:

"How exactly do socialists plan to explain to the union members they claim to be fighting for that they want to take away the healthcare contracts they spent years negotiating and replace it with one-size-fits-all government run healthcare?"

El-Sayed admits as much in the video describing his plan:

"What Medicare-for-all does is it does away with the private insurance market. It now has one single payer. Right? That's what we call single payer, right? One insurance and that is the government of the United States."

Research shows that union workers do, indeed, have strong health insurance benefits.

While not technically a Democratic Socialist, El-Sayed shares ideology with self-identified Democratic Socialists, like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y).

Both Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez campaigned with El-Sayed during his successful bid to win the Democrat Party's Michigan Senate primary.
