Health care rally set for July 25 in Columbus; Urge lawmakers to support real reform

Health Care Rallies Deliver Facts on Reform
OCSEA sent a bus load of union activists to Washington, D.C., for a June 25 rally where AFSCME members from across the nation gathered to urge Congress to reform our health care system now. Check out the video highlights now, and plan to attend the Ohio rally on July 25.
Health care horror stories or half-truths?
On the Bill Moyers Journal, an ex-health care communications executive says that the industry strategically worked to discredit Michael Moore's "Sicko," a film documenting the problems with the U.S. system and benefits of public health care offered by other nations. Rally on July 25 to replace fiction with facts! Watch the PBS video now!

July 13, 2009 - As congressional committees continue to review and mark up of H.R. 3200, America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009, AFSCME's three Ohio affiliates have joined forces to organize a statehouse rally to build support for a labor-friendly health care reform agenda.

Mark your calendar for 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 25, in Columbus. Gather with other union activists on Third Street in front of the Ohio Statehouse.

OCSEA members are encouraged to attend and wear AFSCME Green in solidarity and support of quality, affordable health care for all.

Remember, governments' ability to balance budgets is impacted, too, by rising health care costs. Though OCSEA members and their covered family members have good health care, this national crisis impacts everyone — including public employee union members who deliver vital public services funded by shrinking tax dollars.

The health of our state depends on getting the truth out about real health care reform and moving Congress to act now! Start talking to your local leaders about organizing a group of members to travel to the state capital for this important event.

Stay tuned for more details.
