Change. org Action Alert :

"Give Us Health Care Freedom Now!"

Dear Robert & Melinda,

Never before has your voice on health care been more important.

Senators have just returned to Washington from the holiday weekend to work on legislation that may define our health care system for decades.

Will their plan really fix our broken system, or will it continue to let giant insurance companies price you out of good coverage and deny you insurance simply because of your age or a previous illness?

We need your voice to help advance 'positive' reform.

It's time all Americans had health care freedom: Keep the good insurance you have through your job, or choose decent insurance you can actually afford and doctors who provide quality care.

Enjoy the security of knowing you can't be denied coverage if you change jobs, move or get sick.

*Email your Senators and tell them to fix health care and give all Americans freedom of choice >

America is about solving problems, and there is a plan on the table to reform health coverage so it is :

Affordable now: Health reform must lower costs, and the insurance industry hasn't done it when left to their own devices.

We need a strong public health insurance option to compete with industry to lower rates and keep them honest, and we need it to start from day one.....

Available everywhere: A public health insurance option available throughout the country to compete with the insurance companies who often control your local market by determining what you pay and what you get.

Held accountable: Tough rules with penalties for waste and abuse that apply to the private companies and the public entity offering insurance, with no favorites.

Before this plan was even debated in Congress, it was already being targeted by partisan politics and big insurance and drug company lobbyists.

Now that debate over reform has intensified, the health care industry is spending $1.4 million per day on lobbyists to ensure industry gets reform that benefits them, not you.

Tell your Senators to work for you, and give heath reform a real chance!

The more people your Senators hear from, the more we can drown out the health-industry lobbyists who don't have your best interests at heart.

*Please take action, then forward this to friends and family so we fix health care and get real health care freedom.

Thanks for all that you do,
