Affordable Healthcare for Contra Costa County Workers Now!

Contra Costa Board of Supervisors

CCC Healthcare Logo

Contra Costa County workers have the highest healthcare premium rates for families in the Bay Area due to divisive tactics by the County that the Board of Supervisors has supported. And now those rates are set to get even higher – as much as 14.74 % in January 2019. Contra Costa County workers pay more than double their counterparts in San Francisco, and triple that of city workers in Oakland for family coverage.

Enough is enough. Nine unions have formed a Healthcare Coalition to demand that the County make the health of its workers and their families a priority.

We ask that you stand with the growing number of union members and sign this petition asking the County to bargain with the Union Coalition immediately and to agree to pay its fair share of employee healthcare costs. It’s time for a change in Contra Costa County. Contra Costa has a healthcare problem, and the prescription is affordable healthcare.  Are you with us?

I hereby ask that the County bargain with the Union Healthcare Coalition immediately and pay its fair share of employee healthcare costs comparable to other Bay Area public employers. We need a short-term fix for 2019, and then we need a commitment to work on a bigger system fix that will save both workers and the County money. It’s time for a change in Contra Costa County. Contra Costa has an urgent healthcare crisis, and the prescription is affordable healthcare.
