As we pass the second anniversary of the passage of the healthcare law, nearly 1 in 2 Americans doesn't know the facts about how the law works, or how to get better care. That's where we can really make a difference. A new SEIU report shares stories from members of our SEIU Healthcare family, as well as many facts about how the law will affect you and your family in the coming year.
