{news} We need health reform now

[Robert Vogel]

Dear Friend,

Yesterday Ted Kennedy and his allies in the Senate put forward America's first bill to guarantee quality, affordable healthcare for everyone by giving us the choice of a public health care plan.  

But Insurance companies and their lackeys in Congress claim that if we let Americans choose a public health insurance option, it will cut into their profits. After years of building an American health care system that's like a house on fire, their only strategy is to block the exits when help is near. 

The good news is, they might be right. States across the country are already using public plans to drive down costs and expand access to healthcare. Now, a movement of legislators from these states is mobilizing to tell Congress it's time to unify these local efforts into a national public option. Can you join me in asking our state legislators to endorse a public option, and demand for health care for all NOW! 

This website makes it really easy:

Thanks!
