AFSCME President McEntee: “This Is Real Health Care Reform”

AFSCME President McEntee: “This Is Real Health Care Reform”

Statement of AFSCME President Gerald W. McEntee regarding the introduction of the Affordable Health Care for America Act.

Washington, D.C. — “Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the House leadership have crafted a strong bill. It deserves the support of every member of the Congress. It protects working Americans from a tax on their health benefits, provides a public option and requires large and medium-sized employers to provide insurance for their employees. This bill will make quality, affordable health care a reality for millions of families. Instead of taxing the health benefits of middle class Americans, Speaker Pelosi asks the wealthiest people in the country to pay their fair share. We will mobilize our members across the country to build support for this bill. This is real health care reform. The time has come for Congress to enact it.”
