“LA County has already proposed to freeze health care contributions because of rising costs. Let’s fix health care now so we can focus on building a better LA County while we negotiate our contracts.” – Linda Dent, SEIU 721 Bargaining Policy Committee Chair
Health care costs in California have more than doubled in the past 7 years, jeopardizing our hard-fought coverage.Fixing health care could take it off the bargaining table. Then health care costs won’t be in competition with our paychecks, staffing levels and services to children, students, and the public.
Fixing health care means:
• Keeping the health care you have, if you like it
• Containing costs so that state and local governments can invest in vital public services
• Helping small businesses stay competitive
• Increasing the quality of care while decreasing costs and eliminating waste
• Reforming the insurance market so you will never face losing your coverage
