It’s time. Health care costs are skyrocketing, and last fall we voted for

real change. Congress needs to support President Obama and pass

health care reform in this session.

Call your representative and tell him or her your union and your

family want our broken health care system fixed now.

Corporate lobbyists and the Republicans are standing between you

and your doctor. Don’t let them block reform! It’s time. Call your

representative.

Health Care Reform is closer than ever. 

• President Obama talks health care every day.
• House Bill 3200, which takes a giant step toward guaranteed, high quality, affordable health care for all, was voted out of two House Committee last week.
• The Senate HELP Committee voted out a pretty good bill. 

But we still have a very big fight on our hands.

• The Republicans are trying to kill health care by slowing it down.
• Many Blue Dog and New Democrats are wavering.
• Fox News and the Chamber of Commerce are attacking us every day.

Labor needs to step up to make health care reform happen. 

• We need health care reform, and health care reform needs us.
• Congress has to hear from union members that Health Care Can’t Wait.

July 28^th is a National Health Care Call-In Day. 

• The AFL-CIO and our partners in HCAN are working together on it.

It’s easy to do.  You can call both Senators and your House of Representatives member in a few minutes.
