Background Information

The AFL-CIO union movement is fighting for a unique American plan for secure, high-quality health care for all that:

Builds on what’s best about American health care.
Controls costs.
Makes sure everyone gets high-quality health care as good or better than they have now.
Covers preventive care.
Lets people choose their own doctors and other providers.
Government is watchdog on costs, quality and fairness and offers the choice of a
public alternative to private insurance.
Divides responsibility among employers, government and individuals.

The affiliates of the AFL-CIO, including Working America, are mobilizing a 1-million-member health care mobilization team working with a broad alliance of grassroots organizations to win progressive reform and give millions more union members the information and tools to become active players and health care voters.
