**Do YOU Want to Change the Healthcare System? So do WE!!($10-15/hr)** (MidWilshire)

2009-11-06T08:20:51-08:00

Now is our chance to make health care work.

America�s health care system is broken. Health care costs are spiraling out of control, throwing families, businesses and government into financial crisis. Families are worried their health coverage won�t be there when they need it. Our country can�t afford to wait for health reform that keeps costs down and protects consumers.

We can�t wait for affordable, dependable health care.

We�re fighting for health care that will protect families� financial health, lay out a clear path for all Americans to afford health care, and improve patient safety and quality care.

You can work for change.

Join motivated staff around the country working to make change happen. You can make great friends and money along the way.
