How can the MEA oppose a state-run health care plan while the NEA supports President Obama’s efforts to do the same thing in the country?
While Dillon’s proposal would take away collective bargaining rights and health insurance for thousands of Michigan taxpayers who work in public education, the president wants to control the cost of health care and expand access to all Americans. Dillon’s proposal doesn’t do either – in fact, he wants to cut health coverage for half a million Michigan workers and their families. Obama has always wanted to provide a public option for health care – not take away health care from any employees who already have it.
