Help Finish Healthcare Reform Right!

Now, more than ever, we need Congress to stand up to Republican obstructionism and corporate lobbyists and pass real health care reform - and pass it now. Voters voted for change in 2008 and they expect Congress to deliver. 

It's time to get it done and get it done right!  

Click here to call your Members of Congress and tell them to get it done now. 


Both Houses of Congress have passed a comprehensive health care reform bill, and a compromise between the two was in reach.1 One election in Massachusetts doesn't mean we can abandon reform now, just when we're so close to the finish line. We need to act fast to remind Congress that we support real reform, that they support real reform, and we expect them to finish the job. 

We've come too far to give up now. I know you're busy, but can you take a moment and make one phone call?

If you haven't been trained on it or a little rusty, you can join conference calls that tell you how to use the system at 3:00 PM, 4:30 PM, 6:00 PM and 7:00 PM. The call in number for the training is 712-451-6000 Passcode is 275893#. RSVP to Athena Ford ataford@philaup.org or 267-257-6968.

Let's be clear. Getting reform done means getting it done right. We need to make sure health care is affordable to everyone, in and out of work. And we need to make sure the health insurance companies are held accountable

Last week, we sent tens of thousands of additional letters to Congress, telling them to finish reform right. Over the weekend, hundreds of people showed up at the offices of dozens of Members of Congress -- 
400 people at seven events did so in Pennsylvania -- telling them to finish reform and finish it right. Today, we're having a national call in day to make sure Congress gets our message.

Click here and call today. They need to hear from us today.

Some in Congress are talking about "scaling down" health care reform.2 That idea can't work. As the Associated Press noted, scaling back reform would mean no ban on denials of care, no affordable health care for all, no nothing. In short, scaling down health reform means no health reform. The insurance companies would win.3

That's not acceptable.
