A Call to Action for Jobs!

The epic Jobs Crisis we find ourselves in has been dragging on for over a year, and shows little sign of improving. In fact, it may even be worsening, given the continuing layoffs of public sector employees, and persistent corporate greed which has turned the economic crisis into another opportunity to cut jobs, as well as health benefits, pensions, and pay for private sector workers.

 

Sad News from Anne Feeney

How much one conversation with a doctor can change your life!

Take Action to Protect Vital Jobs and Services

The Senate is expected to vote soon on whether to extend the increased federal Medicaid match (FMAP) contained in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). 

Medicaid is one of most states' largest budget items, with low-income families, hospitals and providers depending on reliable federal support, especially during tough economic times.  Ending it prematurely would be a major setback for our local and national economic recovery.

With state budgets in crisis, hundreds of thousands of public and private sector jobs threatened, and health care for millions of low-income Americans hanging in the balance, Congress must act now.

TAKE ACTION NOW!

Massachusetts Campaign for Health Care Justice Launched!

Last week Mass-Care joined over 100 activists, unions, legislators, and community organizations at a spirited organizing meeting in downtown Boston to launch a Massachusetts Campaign for Health Care Justice. Given the faltering efforts at national health reform, the campaign will attempt to organize a renewed push for Medicare-for-All legislation particularly at the state level, while building a mobilization network capable of supporting workers, patients, and communities struggling to maintain access to health care. The web-site for the new campaign, which includes its mission statement, campaign proposal, calendar of meetings and events, and endorsement form for organizations who want to get involved, is here:
