We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit California Labor Federation.

The short explanation of this alert was:
After working tirelessly all year to promote amendments that benefit working families, Labor finally has a health care bill that we can and should support!

AB 8 (Núñez) has been amended to include significant new amendments:
1. Cost and quality transparency - allows health care purchasers, like our Taft Hartley Trust Funds, to identify why they are paying more for health care and gives them the tools to do something about it.
2. Creation of a public insurance option - a public insurance option offers an alternative to compete against private health plans.
3. Protects working families from excessive health care costs - AB 8 guarantees that no working family will have to accept health insurance that costs more than 5% of their wages.

With these amendments, working families stand in strong support of AB 8. Now we need our legislators to express their support of AB 8. Please take a minute to send a letter to your legislator asking them to vote for AB 8.
