Keep up calls on health care!

The legislative session ends Thursday. There is talk legislators won’t get their business done in time, so will go into special session. But we can’t assume anything. We have to view the finish line as 11:59 p.m. Thursday.
So remember—

Legislators want to triple your health care costs!

• The House heard you and on March 5 added $65 million to your health plan. But the Senate has not agreed to that. The Senate officially still wants to balance the budget on your backs with higher health insurance costs—triple what you pay now for deductibles, co-pays and other out-of-pocket costs.

• And remember, on top of that, some legislators want you to pay even more—more than the current 12 percent share you now pay for your health insurance premiums that is deducted from your paycheck.

FINAL 48 HOURS HEALTH CARE CALL TO ACTION:

STOP THE HEALTH CUTS!  Call the Legislative Hotline at 800-562-6000.

• Tell legislators to fund state worker health insurance at the level in the House supplemental budget (ESSB 6444) – with no mandate to bargain over premiums!
