Stern lobbies with Bloomberg for healthcare reform

Service Employees International Union chief Andy Stern is lobbying for healthcare reform on Capitol Hill today with an out of town guest.

He tweeted:

Lobbying with Mayor Bloomberg on health care. Leaving Senator Snowe. Mayor big proponent of keeping people healthy and the right public plan

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, like Stern, is a noted supporter of healthcare reform. The duo’s visit with Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) raises eyebrows. Reform proponents may need support from both sides of the aisle in order to pass the legislation through the Senate.
