On June 25th, thousands of activists came to Washington, DC to tell Congress that health care can't wait. On July 4th, while Members of Congress were back at home celebrating the holiday, thousands more across the country declared independence from the insurance industry.
This week the Senate HELP Committee, under the leadership of Senator Chris Dodd, is marking up a draft of health care reform legislation that includes a public option.
Can you call Senator Dodd to thank him for including a strong public option in the draft legislation and to ensure that it passes out of committee? Click here, or dial 1-888-436-8427 to be connected to Sen. Dodd's Washington D.C. office.
We are at a really important stage of the process with the Senate HELP committee finalizing their proposed legislation. Senator Dodd needs to hear from you to make sure this legislation provides:
Coverage we can afford;
Comprehensive benefits we can count on;
Choice of a private plan or a national public health insurance plan ready on day one; and
Equal access to quality care.
We are closing in - Members of Congress in both the House and the Senate are working to champion these goals. Call today to thank Sen. Dodd for standing with us and tell him we are counting on him to pass a bill consistent with these goals out of the HELP Committee!
Click here or dial 1-888-436-8427 to call Sen. Dodd at his Washington D.C. office.
You are the real champions of the health care debate, and we are getting close to the finish line. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for making the call today,
