About the Roundtable

Millions of Americans receive health care benefits as a result of their employment by state, county and local governmental units. The cost to provide this essential health care protection - to active and retired employees and to taxpayers - is increasing at an unsustainable rate.

Public sector employers - from the largest to the very smallest - are facing exactly the same challenge as America's corporations. Employer-provided health care coverage is seriously threatened by system-wide failures that require bold and meaningful action by Congress and the federal government.

The Public Sector HealthCare Roundtable is a non-partisan, member-directed grassroots coalition that has been organized to give public employers a voice in this critical national debate and to insure that the public sector isn't ignored in any federal response.

Every public employer providing health care benefits should join today.
