URGENT ACTION ON SINGLE PAYER -- DEADLINE IS 11/6!
Nov 5, 2009

Focus:Health

Location:United States

Over the past week, we've asked you to make calls to your representative and Speaker Nancy Pelosi to demand a vote on the only real health care reform that can cover all Americans: single-payer. You are being heard!

 A caduceus umbrella symbolizing health care for all Contact your rep. today! It's time for a vote on single-payer!
 We just learned that there is a strong possibility that Speaker Pelosi WILL allow a vote on single-payer. The vote may happen as early as tomorrow (Friday) morning. Whether it is offered as a stand-alone bill or as an amendment to the health care reform package, this will be the FIRST vote ever held on single-payer health care in the full House of Representatives.

Urge your representative NOW to stand with you and the American people on this historic vote. Tell your representative to vote "YES!" to Rep. Anthony Weiner's (D-N.Y.) single-payer bill!

In the past, many members of Congress have said they would support single-payer "if it came to a vote" but that a vote just wasn't politically feasible. Now, a vote is here, and it is our job to urge lawmakers to do the right thing. They cannot miss this historic opportunity to cast their votes for real health care for all - a single-payer system.

Time is short, so please click here to send a quick email to your representative now!

Among all the reform proposals, a single-payer, Medicare-for-All system is the only "option" for health care reform that will end the domination of the insurance industry and ensure that every one of the more than 45 million uninsured will receive quality health care.

Let's not back down now. Continue to stand up for health care for all!

Thank you for all you do!
