Concerns of a single dad with a special needs child

We NEED healthcare reform NOW so that you and your family will always have access to health coverage, no matter if you’re sick, get older, lose your job, change your job, or hit a rough financial patch. Healthcare reform will give you peace-of-mind about your health care, and the freedom to live the life you want without fear you’ll be denied insurance or can’t afford it.

Reform proposals already have passed both chambers of Congress by majority vote. They will NOT add to our deficit, and actually will cut wasteful healthcare spending.

Yesterday, the President added more changes after meeting with both parties, including greater efforts to reduce medical fraud and frivolous lawsuits – and then he called for an up-or-down vote on health reform.

But thanks to politics and the coming election season, some in Congress still want to turn their backs, delay and leave us at the mercy of the giant insurance companies.

Who can change their minds? YOU can! Tell your Representative and Senators to finish the job they started!

Opponents are more fired up than ever, because they know it’s always easier to be against something than have the courage to fix a tough, systemic problem like health insurance. But you ultimately have the power, because your members of Congress are responsible to YOU, their constituent!

You can hold your lawmakers accountable if they don’t deliver:
• Health insurance that can never be denied to you, even if you have a pre-existing condition.
• Your choice of the same coverage members of Congress get.
• Help to buy coverage should you lose your job or have less money coming in.
• Needed preventive care and screenings – mammograms, colonoscopies – covered 100 percent.
• Real insurance industry reforms, including a rebate if your insurance company uses too much of your premium on their profits and overhead.
• Tax credits to help local small businesses cover their workers.
• A Medicare program that doesn’t waste your tax dollars, and is there when you need it.

Contact you Senators and Representative now to finish what they started! They work for you! The next few weeks will be critical if we are to get real change, which is why we need you and everyone you know to weigh in.
