NEW BILL FOR SEN. BROWN’S COMMITTEE STEP TOWARD AFFORDABLE, GUARANTEED HEALTH CARE
Columbus, Ohio — Healthcare workers in SEIU District 1199 today praised to Sen. Sherrod Brown for taking the lead to make healthcare affordable and guaranteed for working families.
Sen. Brown is a member of the Senate Health Education Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, who’s newly announced bill on healthcare reform is viewed by healthcare workers who belong to SEIU District 1199 as a significant step towards making healthcare affordable and accessible.
The bill drives down costs for families through meaningful reforms that reduce premiums and out-of-pocket expenses for working families, guarantees the choice of a quality public health insurance option, and ensure that employers will take responsibility for helping workers pay for healthcare.
“Senator Brown and the Senate Health Education Labor and Pensions Committee’s proposal for a strong public health insurance option as part of comprehensive health care reform is what Ohio needs to drive down costs, extend coverage and enhance consumer choice for Ohioans,” said Becky Williams, President of District 1199.
SEIU members believe that everyone—individuals, business, and government—must come together and share responsibility in solving America's healthcare crisis.
By building on the employer-based system, the Senate HELP Committee has lowered costs and put money back in working families’ pockets through employer responsibility and a strong public health insurance plan.
Otherwise, reform will be meaningless if working people can’t afford to purchase coverage or can’t afford to get the care they need once they are covered.
