2003 ILWU Warrior
 
Medicare Defeat
The Senate passed the prescription drug conference report. The legislation will subsidize employment based plans up to 28 percent of the costs of enrollees between $250 and $5,000 in spending. Employment based plans get no help for catastrophic costs. Please see attached fact sheet that outlines just how bad the conference report is. Senator Feinstein (D-CA) and Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) voted wrong on the issue. In the House, Rep. David Wu (D-OR) voted wrong. All other West Coast Democrats were “right” on the issue. A big thank you to all ILWU members who called their Members of Congress. The vote was close and would not have been so close without grassroots participation.
