Two SEIU nurses featured in Senate Democrats ad

Two SEIU members were featured in a video put out by the Senate Democratic Communications Center showing the overwhelming support for health care reform in the medical community. SEIU nurses Debbie Wilkes, a member of Local 1199 from Maryland, and Linda Bock, a member of United Healthcare Workers East also from Maryland, shared stories about their own experience working in our broken health care system.

See what they had to say:

When it comes to talking about health care, doctors and nurses are the experts. SEIU nurses have been at the forefront of this debate, lobbying state and federals representatives, rallying on the National Mall, delivering signed hospital scrubs to Congress, and meeting with President Obama at the White House. Now, they're speaking directly to the public.

"Every day, our doctors and nurses see first-hand the many challenges facing our health care system," said SDCC Staff Director, Rodell Mollineau. "These health care professionals know better than anyone that by leveling the playing field, encouraging preventive care and regulating insurers, patients will receive higher quality, more affordable care."
