Update on Hagan Amendment to Senate health care bill

Written by barb howe Thursday, 16 July 2009 15:01

Thanks to everyone who took part in the action alert and called Sen. Hagan's office to object to her amendment to exclude employers of seasonal farmworkers from the Senate health care bill, the Affordable Health Choices Act.  The bill was passed by the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee and was sent to the full Senate on Wednesday.  While Hagan's amendment was included in the bill, the final version did not specifically target farmworkers, only certain seasonal jobs.  Thanks again to all who helped push Sen. Hagan in the right direction.
