SUBJECT:
DEAR [REPRESENTATIVE/SENATOR]
I URGE YOU TO MAKE AFFORDABLE, ACCESSIBLE AND COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CARE THAT WORKS FOR WOMEN A REALITY THIS YEAR.
[Personalize your message, here]
EVERY MONTH, THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS BECOME UNINSURED. THREE OUT OF FIVE WOMEN HAVE PROBLEMS PAYING THEIR MEDICAL BILLS. WOMEN POSTPONE MEDICAL CARE BECAUSE THEY CAN’T AFFORD IT. THEY WONDER IF A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION WILL PREVENT THEM FROM FINDING COVERAGE.
ALL AMERICANS NEED HEALTH CARE REFORM THAT:
PROVIDES AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE,
ASSURES COMPREHENSIVE BENEFITS, INCLUDING REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICES AND
ENDS INSURANCE PRACTICES THAT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST WOMEN.
WE CAN'T WAIT. I URGE YOU TO PASS HEALTH CARE REFORM LEGISLATION THAT MEETS THE NEEDS OF WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES THIS YEAR.
