Stop the attack on quality health care
In an attempt to further erode the quality of healthcare and expand their bottom line, a big business coalition led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Federation of Independent Business, and the National Association of Manufacturers is pressing Congress to pass healthcare legislation that undermines the safety and security of the health insurance our families depend on.
We can stop them with your help. Act Now: http://go.care2.com/59797
So what's big business' agenda?
They're pushing to create a loophole that would exempt Associated Health Plans used by many businesses, from more than 1,000 state consumer protection laws. These loopholes will allow them to:
# Severely restrict coverage for critical preventative healthcare such as mammograms, yearly child checkups
# Raise your rates at any time;
# Deny your claim with no guaranteed right to appeal.
The answer to our health care crisis is not to give people less coverage for more money!
Who's Fighting Back?
A coalition of over 1,300 labor, consumer, and local small business groups, and both the Democratic AND Republican Governors' Associations. They all agree that the result will be worse healthcare that's more expensive, provides less coverage and will actually result in fewer people having insurance. In fact, the only folks who benefit are businesses. Please help us now: http://go.care2.com/59798
They think we're not paying attention!
In order to win the fight Congress needs to hear from consumers and activists like you! The House of Representatives approved this bill in August, so it must now be stopped in the Senate. Send a comment to your Senators demanding that they uphold consumer protections in your state by opposing any effort to weaken Association Health Plans.
Sincerely,
Bob Fertik
PS. Your action now can make a real difference in this debate. The coalition opposing this effort is in constant communication with the Senate on this issue – but their message will be strengthened with your letter. Please take action today: http://go.care2.com/59800
