The nation’s largest nurses union [on Friday] urged Congress to act quickly to reverse the Supreme Court decision allowing unlimited corporate spending in political campaigns, calling it a “disastrous ruling for American workers and American democracy.”

“The healthcare debate of the last year has provided a sobering reminder of the already pervasive influence of giant pharmaceutical and insurance corporations. The last thing our democracy and political system needs is even more spending and political sway by the wealthiest interests in this country,” said Rose Ann DeMoro, executive director of National Nurses United, the 150,000-member organization formed late last year through the unification of the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee, United American Nurses, and Massachusetts Nurses Association.
