A health care system for us, not big insurers

Congress is debating health reform proposals right now.
Real reform will:

Prevent insurance companies from dropping coverage or discriminating against consumers for “pre-existing conditions.”

Control the spiraling cost of premiums (up 87% in the past six years) by cutting waste and increasing competition.

Force the insurance companies to compete by providing Americans with the choice of a public health insurance option.

Tell your Representative and Senator today to support a health care system for us, not big insurers today.

Message Text:
Dear Senator/Representative:
Please work to win real health care reform in 2009 that:

  • protects Americans from insurance company abuses such as refusing coverage based on “pre-existing conditions” or dropping coverage when we get sick;
  • reduces cost by forcing insurance companies to compete;
  • and provides Americans with the choice of a public health insurance option.
