A Historic Day for New York Families

Happy New Year!  As we enter 2018, we’re looking forward to continuing our progress for working families in the year ahead.

Here in New York, we’re especially excited that starting today millions of workers will have access to paid family leave under the state’s landmark law. The law will give workers the right to paid, job-protected time off to bond with a new child, care for a seriously ill or injured family member, or address needs due to a family member’s military deployment.

At A Better Balance, we’re proud to have helped lead the way for over a decade in fighting for—and delivering—this groundbreaking law, which will ensure that no New Yorker will have to choose between their family and their livelihood. Please join us in lifting up this important victory by sharing this video:

Tell your congressional members that Healthcare is NOT a partisan pawn


WethePeople

In 2018, left of center politicians pundits and organizers need to make trump supporters/voters know that Health care is NOT a partisan entity or pawn to be played with like their representatives in congress continue to engage in. The idea that folks should have health care based on their zip codes or financial status is offensive and yes some took the risk paid the fine instead, while a large group seemed to be denied health care based on and by political/social bias … knowing most Americans have had to fight to get a chance at a higher standard or good quality of life before Obamacare has now gotten tougher after election 2016 trifecta win and is beyond my sensibilities.

I don’t know about you but I believe health care is a right for each and every person in America, but it seems republicans have a different attitude about that.  Now, in this era of trump the cut burn and slash mentality is, could, can or will become a reality that has been beaten back with common sense thoughts and behavior until this 21st Century change in our society. Now, not only is it a matter of common sense which seems to be disappearing at a high rate, it’s a question of the quality of life for everyone that is now at risk whether trump supporters believe it or not the facts are there if they would just do the research.

The idea that folks can afford privatized health care is almost a joke as most know, sadly privatization means no caps, no control, no accountability, and almost always means a lack or opportunity to challenge your carrier let alone appeal…

Health Care along with the right to vote are human rights! They should not be considered privileges
