SEIU Members Make Health Care Deciding Issue For Uncommitted Voters.

Over the past year and a half, SEIU members have made health care a central issue in the presidential election:

• In March, 2007, SEIU and the Center for American Progress Action Fund hosted the first presidential forum focused on health care;

• In August, 2007, Barack Obama spent the day working alongside home care worker Pauline Beck as part of SEIUs walk a day in my shoes program;

• In April, 2008, SEIU launched its first ad of the general election, featuring nurses and other healthcare workers expressing their concerns about John McCains health care proposals;

• For four months, SEIUs Road to American Health Care bus tour traveled 8500 miles, holding events in 17 states that featured real people struggling to keep up with rising health care costs;

• SEIUs report, Making a Bad Problem Worse, detailed how John McCains health care proposal would make it harder for average families to get quality, affordable health coverage;

• SEIU has targeted key Senate and House races with mail, phone calls, and earned and paid media in order to help elect a pro-health care majority in Congress;

• SEIU has helped host dozens of press conferences highlighting how McCains health care plan would impact key groups, such as women and veterans, and helped release a Center for American Progress state-by-state analysis of McCains proposals.

Go SIEU!! The media (and as in media I mean Fox News) is spreading all these false stories about you guys. I'm just saying that I support you guys and all those people who post negative comments are low life, red neck, conservative people who search for these videos just so that they can post hurtful comments.

Go SIEU, President Obama, and Healthcare Reform!!

I have a practice in Maryland that allows my patients to pay what they feel their services are worth-no set fees. It is called an Honor Fee System and it works! Check out my website at taneytownchiropractic(dot)com.
