The
Service Employees International Union (SEIU) backed out of an event
with other organizations promoting the Senate healthcare reform bill
Wednesday over concerns about changes made to the legislation to
accommodate centrist Democrats.
The SEIU had planned to
participate in a Capitol Hill press conference along with the AARP, the
liberal advocacy group Families USA, Consumers Union and the American
Cancer Society Action Network. As recently as Tuesday morning, the
organizations distributed an advisory to the news media that included
the SEIU.
