WFP member and County Legislator Kate Browning (WFP/D) said,
"The Fair Share for Health Care Act will level the playing field for responsible businesses that struggle to compete against large, hugely-profitable employers - like Wal-Mart and Home Depot -– that shirk their responsibility to provide decent health benefits to their employees."County Legislator Jon Cooper (D/WFP), who also owns Spectronics, a manufacturing business in Westbury, said,
"This is a fight between Responsible Local Businesses that provide decent health benefits and Hugely Profitable Corporate Free-Loaders that try and avoid their responsibility."Working Families Party Suffolk County chapter co-chair Brian Schneck said,
"No employee of multi-billion dollar companies like Wal-Mart or Home Depot should be forced to go without medical care nor should they be forced to resort to Medicaid. The Suffolk County Legislature should be commended for its leadership for working families."Thanks go out to Presiding Officer William Lindsay (D/WFP) for leading the charge and pushing this resolution through.

Right now in Rockland we're going to each legislator's district office to talk to them about the Fair Share for Health Care Act. If anyone wants to come, just post in the comments.
And if you know of upcoming events where we can publicize the bill, be sure to let us know in the comments!
