PRINCE GEORGE, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 20, 2009) - Editor's note: a photo is included with this news release.

The march ended in a rally outside Prince George - Valemount MLA Shirley Bond's Office at lunchtime. The marchers were cheered by car drivers honking their support. Participants came from as far away as Prince Rupert, Fort St. John and Dawson Creek to voice their opposition to the Bill that stripped CUPE 873 ambulance paramedics of their right to strike while they were voting on an offer from the government. That marked a shameful first in Canadian labour history. The message to Bond and her fellow B.C. Liberal MLAs was clear - collective bargaining is a Charter right and Bill 21 takes this right away from workers across the province.

American Families Can Stay Together and Keep Current Dental Plan Under Senate Approach to Essential Health Benefits

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:55:00 EST

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - November 20, 2009) - Senate Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid's health reform bill fulfills the promise that more than 132 million Americans with family dental coverage can keep their current dental plan without disrupting established dentist-patient relationships, according to the National Association of Dental Plans.

The Senate bill, as released earlier this week, includes language offered by Sens. Debbie Stabenow (MI) and Blanche Lincoln (AR) that was adopted with unanimous, bipartisan support by the Senate Finance Committee. As a result, the bill takes a laudable step toward preserving the best aspects of how dental benefits are offered today, while also extending them to millions of uninsured children. It preserves access for all Americans -- those with and without dental benefits today -- to specialized dental coverage offered by experienced dental-focused carriers in the new health care exchanges, as well as in the private marketplace.
