Wade's first rally


When it comes to teachers' health care, no one is more passionate than Wade Lewis.

More about SB 6442 (from the WEA website):
"A state takeover of K-12 educators’ health benefit plans would provide no cost savings and will actually cost taxpayers at least $45 million, according to the state’s own fiscal note. SB 6442 and its companion bill, House Bill 2724, also will cost school employees more, reduce benefits and limit choices. It also eliminates local decision-making about educator health benefits. That’s why educators oppose Senate Bill 6442 and House Bill 2724."
