Health reform is getting down to the wire.

Down to the wire!

---

Health reform is getting down to the wire. Just this week, the final Senate committee approved its reform bill, and now the issue moves to the floor in both chambers of Congress – where anything can happen! You can bet the insurance industry and opponents will be pulling out all the stops to weaken or kill any bill on the floor. We need every last voice in support of reform so members of Congress know that we expect access to affordable, decent health coverage – just like they get. Sign our petition in support of common-sense health reform, and we’ll hand deliver it to your local Congressional offices. The more signatures we can get in each state, the more we can put Washington on notice that people back home expect solutions to our health care problems this year! Add your name – Don’t let Congress put off fixing our health care crisis! We produced a TV ad that puts our trusted Consumer Reports brand behind the call for common-sense health reform, and have been airing it in Washington, D.C., to build support. Momentum is growing once again for reform after a frustrating summer where well-organized opponents used lies and scare tactics in hopes of paralyzing us in fear. Help us keep the momentum growing. Your voice is needed to push for real choice, clear debate and an end to ‘politics as usual.’ Sign our petition to Congress. Tell members to fix our crisis – not add to it! Consumers are tired of getting the short end of the stick from the giant insurance companies when it comes to health care, and we need more coverage choices that are affordable and reliable. We have the opportunity now if Congress can find the courage to stand up to the lobbyists and give us health coverage we can afford – and without the fear that it will be yanked away on an insurance company whim. Your voice matters – make sure your elected officials know that you’re watching, and that you want them to work for reform that benefits you, not the insurance industry.
