Congress has debated health care reform for over a year. Both the House and the Senate have passed health care reform bills. The time for action is now. We need you to make sure that Congress finishes the job right by guaranteeing affordable health care for working families.
Now is the time to call you Member of Congress and ask for an up or down vote on health care reform. No more debating, stalling or complaining. Direct-care workers and other families can’t wait another day for real reform. The House may vote as early as today.
Call now: 1800-828-0498 and tell your Member to get health care reform passed in the next two weeks.
