Join the "Health Care for America Now!" campaign

AFSCME and all of labor have created an intensive campaign to win real health care reform at the national level—no matter who our new president will be.

Health Care is important to our members. Though the overall employee premium share has recently stabilized, our members have lost significant ground since 1993. The problems of those without healthcare in Washington State and across the country continue to compound both healthcare access and cost issues.

After working on this issue at both the International Union and Council levels for many years, we are convinced there is only one way to achieve universal coverage.

The only way to pass national health care is for our members and for the American people to get their hair on fire about health care.

For 80 eighty years, U.S. Presidents – both Democrat and Republican – have tried to pass one form or another of national health care. President Obama, President Clinton, and certainly not President McCain cannot pass national health care because they think it is the right thing to do.

The drug companies, the hospital associations, the medical equipment industry, and the American Medical Association, to name a few actors, will be out in force to stop any push for national health care.

We need a tsunami of public opinion at the grass roots level to rise up and overwhelm the Beltway lobbyists.

Our members are ready. Even the business community is concerned about how health care cuts into their operating costs and profits. It is time to ignite this flame and make a huge difference for our members and for all people across this country.

Phase 1: Letters to Senator Cantwell

Why? The Senator sits on the Finance Committee and it’s very important that we get this issue flagged by her early on. Any health care bill that moves forward has the potential to be marked up in this very important committee (Finance) and we need her to hear our message to “stand firm.”

WFSE is collecting letters throughout the month of May and will present them, in mass, to Senator Cantwell. You can help.
