Statement by AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka on White House Health Care Proposal

Statement by AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka on White House Health Care Proposal

February 22, 2010

We look forward to moving the ball forward this week toward the goal of quality, affordable health care for all Americans. Republicans in Congress have an opportunity to stand with working families or continue to protect the profits of the insurance industry. We are prepared to work with the White House and leadership in Congress to advance a comprehensive health care bill that will be passed into law.

3. They didn't say they agreed
They said they looked forward to working with the WH to advance HCR. Big difference.

6. Very cautious and limited support, and only for the general effort.
He obviously does not like a lot of what is in the bill, but wants the process to go forward, hoping for the best.
