New Report Shows Maximus Workers Tasked with Helping Americans Access Affordable Healthcare are Struggling to Afford their Own

Workers at Maximus, who have been organizing with CWA, provide much needed assistance to millions of Americans with enrolling in affordable health plans during open enrollment season for Medicare and the Affordable Care Act (ACA). But a new nationwide analysis by CWA has found that the company offers call center workers health plans that are more expensive than comparable plans and expose workers to high out-of-pocket expenses in the form of high deductibles.

This report clearly shows that the very workers who the federal government trusts to help millions of Americans access affordable healthcare are struggling to afford their own. Listen to the workers, with the support of the Mississippi NAACP and AFL-CIO, describe in their own words how this unaffordable health care affects them and their families. In the past, Maximus workers have fought to increase wages and improve working conditions despite pushback from the company. Now, they are organizing to win affordable healthcare for all Maximus workers. If you are a Maximus employee, click here to share your healthcare story and join the fight.
