Andy Stern: Growing Number of Uninsured "A Stain On This Country" - 08/30/06

By Doug Cunningham

SEIU President Andy Stern says new census figures showing an increase in the number of people without health insurance in the U.S. is a “stain on this country”. He’s calling on employers to call on Congress to produce real health care reform that guarantees affordable health insurance to everyone. Forty six point six million people, most of them employed, went without health insurance in 2005. Stern says if this broken health care system is to be fixed business and labor must work together to find a solution.
