I heard this morning that Wal-Mart and SEIU are joining together to try to get the US Government to take on the responsibility for “quality, affordable” single-payer healthcare. (By 2012, mind you, not today or tomorrow.)
A union and one of the biggest mistreaters of labor?
Guess the health-care system really is broken, if these two not only agree that it is, but have joined together to propose some joint guidelines toward a solution. Here’s SEIU’s take, and here’s the AP’s (though on a Wal-Mart watchdog website). Here’s Wal-Mart’s own report, and at the bottom of the page is a link to “Common Sense Health Care Principles,” which you can download.
Actually, it’s a coalition which includes
- AT&T
- Intel
- Kelly Services, Inc.
- Communications Workers of America
- the Center for American Progress
- the Howard H. Baker, Jr. Center for Public Policy
- the Committee for Economic Development
But SEIU and Wal-Mart, are, respectively, the largest health care union and the largest corporation in North America. Whew!
Which part of the Twilight Zone are we living in?
