Pittsburgh, PA–(ENEWSPF)–December 24, 2009. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka released the following statement regarding the Senate’s passage of health insurance reform legislation:
“In the face of inexcusable partisanship, obstruction and gamesmanship, it is remarkable that Majority Leader Reid was able to move a health care bill through the United States Senate. Not since the passage of Medicare 44 years ago have we seen Republican scare tactics so blatantly contrary to the interests of the American people.
