It's time to put health care to a vote

"The truth is, we have debated health care in Washington not just this past year.  We've been debating it for 70 years. Harry Truman was pushing health care reform!"

- President Barack Obama, 3/10/2010

We can't leave the future of our health care system in the hands of insurers like Anthem.

Tell Congress: It's time to put health care reform to a vote -- and pass it.

If we do nothing, insurance premiums will keep growing at four times the rate of wages. Employer health care costs will continue to crush job creation, and long-term deficits will reach the stratosphere.

There's no reason to wait.

Petition Text Dear Representative, If Congress waits to pass health care reform, insurance premiums will keep growing at four times the rate of wages. Employer health care costs will continue to crush job creation, and long-term deficits will reach the stratosphere. Why wait to empower state and federal governments to prevent excessive, unjustified rate hikes? Why wait to cut costs and improve quality? Why wait to end pre-existing condition denials? There's no reason to wait. Please stand up to the health insurance companies and pass health care reform now, before it is too late.

The moment of truth

Today's vote in the House of Representatives will decide whether or not we finally start fixing America's health care system.

The Congressional Budget Office says the president's plan will cut $130 billion off the deficit over the next 10 years, more than $1 trillion in the next 20.

But it all comes down to these last few hours. The Capitol switchboard has been swamped all week, and it looks like we're close to having the votes we need. But if any undecided members of Congress stop hearing from supporters, and start to hear a chorus of calls to "vote no," reform could slip away in an afternoon.

You can reach your representative by calling the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121. Just tell the operator your zip code, and they will connect you.

Then please fill out the form below to let us know you called.

Your voice could get reform across the finish line. Please make the call, and get every one you know to do the same.
