Wal-Mart, Unions Unite on Health Care
This united front of business and labour are calling for universal health care. But it is not Canadian style single payer universal medicare.
Joining Wal-Mart Stores Inc. CEO Lee Scott and Service Employees International Union leader Andrew Stern at a Washington press conference were top executives from Intel Corp., AT&T Inc. and Kelly Services Inc., a temporary staffing agency.
The partnership of business and union leaders laid out four main goals, including universal health-care coverage for all Americans and boosting the value of every U.S. dollar spent on health care. The business and union leaders' coalition, dubbed "Better Health Care Together," pledged to convene a national summit by the end of May to recruit others from the private sector, labor, government and non-profits.
If the environment is Canada's top election issue, Health care is going to be the issue in the next U.S. Presidential election.
But will any of the candidates endorse a single payer system like we have in Canada?
