 There's a Health Care Crisis

Are you one of the nearly 13 million young adults without health insurance?  Young adults, 19 to 29 years old, are more than twice as likely to not have health insurance.

Between 2000 and 2002, more than two million Americans age 19-29 lost their health coverage.   That’s 2,700 each day.

The health care crisis is a national crisis and  requires a national solution. It can’t be solved at the bargaining table or on the picket line.

Want to do something about it? You can start by checking out the UFCW's info on the Health Care Crisis:

How do we fix it?
