Health Care Reform and Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

Stopped by Representative David Wu's office in downtown Portland, Oregon this morning to drop off my handwritten statement:

"As a mediator and paralegal, I assist employees - often single mothers - who are being sexually harassed in the workplace. These women do not report the abuse because: 1) they cannot afford the risk of retaliation and losing their income, and 2) they cannot afford the risk of losing their health care benefits. This is wrong. Reform is needed. Our current system enables continued sexual harassment and discrimination against women in the workplace."
