Gov. Dean Gets Fired Up in Delaware

On May 29th, SEIU hosted an event with Gov. Howard Dean to discuss health care reform with people in Wilmington, Delaware. Watch a clip of Howard Dean reacting to a story from a local resident who was forced to file for divorce in order to afford cancer treatment:

Dean's reaction is something many of us feel - a kind of patriotic outrage. "There is not one other industrialized democracy on the face of this earth that somebody with that story would have--not one other country, not one! How could America be like this? This is America for God sakes. Doesn't this make you angry?" He continues, "This is a disgrace, and that is why we need real health insurance reform."

We're continuing to hold events around the country, culminating in a June 25th mobilization in Washington, DC. Check out our Change that Works page to look for upcoming events in your area.
