Supporters of health care reform rally in Massachusetts & Arizona

SEIU members marched on the Massachusetts Republican Party this week, calling on the GOP to stop its campaign to kill healthcare reform. Their message was simple: stop putting insurance companies over working families.

As SEIU President Andy Stern said to AP this week, "It is clear that Republicans have decided 'no healthcare' is a victory for them. There is a point at which bipartisanship reaches a limit, and I would say it's reaching that limit."
