Since this is Labor Day, we turn our thoughts to the labor force of nonprofit organizations and one of the hottest issues in this country today: health care coverage.

                Before you read on, I should let you know that I don’t have any answers. I don’t know whose proposal is best. I don’t know whether the Canadian system is better than ours. I don’t even know if my partners at Fundraising Assets agree with my stand on the issue.

                Given that, here is what I do believe: We should figure out some way for all Americans to have affordable health coverage. That doesn’t seem like a bold statement to me, but I know people who vehemently disagree with me.

                So what are your experiences with health care coverage?  Does your organization offer health care coverage to its staff? Do you know of good ways for small employers to offer coverage? How about freelance or part-time workers—how can they get coverage? Please share.
