Is access to affordable healthcare important to you?
Our legislators are considering three bills that would provide healthcare for many part-time faculty at public colleges and universities, and there is a hearing to consider them this week.
We have a real chance at getting this legislation passed—for the first time ever, the governor allotted funds for it in her recommended budget—but it is still going to take a lot of work in this challenging financial climate to get it passed. To do so, we have to let our legislators know how important healthcare is to us, and how terrible it is to not have appropriate healthcare—especially now.
If you have testimony, please email it to Taylor Sarman, one of our advocates at the state capitol: taylor [at] columbiapublicaffairs.com.
Let's win this one!
