SEIU Michigan Members On Healthcare Reform

Members of Congress hear our stories!

As healthcare workers, the issue of reforming our broken healthcare system is one we deal with on a day to day basis. To make sure that the decision-makers in Washington know about the difficulties and problems in healthcare from those who see them every day at the bedside, SEIU Healthcare Michigan members spoke out and shared their stories and experiences with Members of Congress, not only here in Michigan, but all across the nation!

Read their stories here.

Public Health Insurance Plan at Risk Right Now

There are now a few key dynamics jeopardizing the inclusion of a public health insurance plan in the committee’s final bill. First, Chairman Baucus is getting intense pressure from moderate colleagues on the Committee to step away from his own proposal and instead seek bipartisan support for a less effective and less comprehensive reform package (which, among other things, would fail to control skyrocketing costs).

The pressure on the hill to push a plan with bipartisan support is gaining traction. And there is a real danger that passing a bill that the everyone in the U.S. Senate can support could take precedence over enacting a law that everyone in America needs.

That’s why we need Democratic Senators on the committee to support their President, their Chairman and the creation of a public health insurance plan as part of real reform. Most importantly, we need supporters of the public plan to become real champions and make the case with their colleagues for why a public plan is a central part of any successful reform.

Leaders Come Together in Clare

2009 Clare Conference Kicks Off

This year’s leadership conference in Clare, MI was held on April 27 and 28 and offered stewards a chance to network with other leaders, as well as meet with and get to know Union members from across the state.

The Clare conference is a valuable opportunity for stewards to attend workshops and training seminars to help them sharpen their skills in representing Union members like you.

Without strong leaders, SEIU Healthcare Michigan’s continued progress would not be possible. It was so rewarding to meet with each steward & member leader, and we encourage members to talk to them about what they learned at this year’s conference.
