It's Now or Never for Health Care Reform
01/13/10
The House and Senate have passed health care reform measures. But now they have to hammer out a final bill they all can agree on. We have to keep the pressure on to ensure that the final version will help, not hurt, working families.
Call your representative toll-free at
1-877-264-4226Urge him or her to support working families by voting for health care reform that:
- DOES NOT tax our health care benefits.
- Requires employers to pay their fair share.
- Reduces costs—and the best way to do that is with a public health care option.
