SEIU Statement in Support of New Blueprint to Solve Health Care Crisis by Senator Max Baucus

Date:11/12/2008

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the nation's largest labor union for health care workers, issued the following statement in support of the diagnosis of and prescription for mending our broken health care system released by Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) today:
