Legislative Meetings - Step by Step

Take Action for Federal Health Care Reform TODAY!

Let's Improve the Bill

Both in the Senate and in Conference Committee
Ask Your Senators, Congressional Representative and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to:

1) Support equity and justice –Strengthen affordability protections and employer responsibility. Rally support for a public option.

2) Support the dignity and health of women - prevent restrictions to access to abortion. The religious viewpoint of some cannot remove women’s access to legal medical care.

3) Support innovation - Allow continued healthcare reform at the state level. Include the opportunity for states to get waivers allowing them to pursue single payer health care or other reforms.

4) Support compassion and inclusion - Include generous funding for public health clinics. Get rid of waiting period that prevent immigrants from access to Medicaid.
