"JUAN GONZALEZ: Wal-Mart, the nation's largest employer, has formed a coalition with labor unions and other large corporations to call for quality affordable health coverage for all Americans by 2012. The coalition includes AT&T, Intel, Kelly Services, the Service Employees International Union and the Communications Workers of America. Three public policy groups are also backing the campaign dubbed "Better Health Care Together." Wal-Mart's CEO Lee Scott said, quote, "Our current system hurts America's competitiveness and leaves too many people uninsured." This is SEIU president Andrew Stern.

      ANDREW STERN: Today, I stood on the stage with leaders of American business, civic organizations, a former senator, to say it's time for every American to have quality affordable healthcare. I stood with Lee Scott, the CEO of Wal-Mart, a moment I never would have expected would have happened in my life, along with business leaders from Intel and Kelly Service and AT&T and another union leader from CWA. We stood together for a very simple reason. We share a common value and belief that by 2012, every man, woman and child in America needs to have quality affordable healthcare."
