From the halls of Congress to state legislatures to cities and counties, elected leaders’ decisions on funding and regulations have a major impact on our jobs and the care we deliver. More than 60 percent of all healthcare financing comes from the federal and state government.

SEIU Healthcare is uniting healthcare workers across the nation to urge our elected leaders to fix our broken healthcare system. We are demanding a healthcare plan from every Presidential candidate that covers every man, woman, and child in America; promotes quality, prevention, and patient choice; and is financed fairly by employers, government, and individuals.  We are calling for a pledge from every Member of Congress to work with a new President in 2009 to co-sponsor and vote for a bill to make healthcare for all a reality.
