Some 300 Federation shop stewards kicked off the campaign at their conference in SeaTac Sunday. They lined up at a bank of computers to send the “Support Health Care Reform” message to Congress.
The Obama health care plan is in line with the reform package recommended by delegates to the 2008 AFSCME Convention. That includes “a truly inclusive and accessible health care system in which no one is left out.”
Also: “A choice of a private insurance plan, including keeping the insurance you have if you like it, or a public insurance plan, without a private insurer middleman, that guarantees affordable coverage.”
