Petition for Fair Share Health Care Act in Kansas

[atommom]

America's health care system is in crisis thanks to some big, profitable companies who refuse to pay their fair share of health care costs by covering their workers. Millions of Americans are going without insurance, and health care costs are skyrocketing.

The irresponsibility of these companies who don't pay their fair share affects all of us.

It raises health care costs for Americans with and without insurance. It places a burden on taxpayers who are forced to pay to cover the uninsured. And it makes it harder for responsible companies to do the right thing and cover their employees while their competitors cut costs by dropping health care coverage.

But state legislatures have taken action by introducing a version of the Fair Share Health Care Act, which would require large employers to pay their fair share of the cost of providing health care for their employees.
