Health Care Professionals
AFSCME doctors, dentists, nurses, and other health care professionals deliver patient care in diverse settings throughout California. Members of the Union of American Physicians and Dentists and the United Nurses Associations of California /Union of Health Care Professionals believe that all health care workers and all community members are entitled to dignity, respect, justice, and quality health care.
Health Care Reform is a big topic in around the country. However, everyone is watching how California will tackle the problem of a broken system. We must continue to fight for adequate health care professional-to-patient ratios. As the front-line advocates for patient care and rights, we must ensure that any form of health care reform is comprehensive - health care are shared equally by all, affordable, transparent, accesible, and of the highest quality.
