Law would ensure health care for all Minnesotans - Rochester Post-Bulletin
01/22/2009
A coalition of health-advocacy organizations has proposed a law to fix Minnesota's part in the nation's health-care problems.
The Minnesota Health Security Act would require "comprehensive, affordable health care for everyone in Minnesota, starting with our state's children."
According to "Make Health Happen Campaign," the coalition represents
350,000 members of organizations like the Minnesota Nurses Association;
the Children's Defense Fund; the Minnesota branch of American
Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME); and
unions representing service and industrial workers.
