Take Action! It’s Your Life – Live It!

Tell Congress to pass health care legislation that meets the needs of women and our families.

A Woman Is Not A Pre-Existing Condition - the Web Site

Call your Members of Congress now:

Dial 1-877-264-4226 to be connected to your Members of Congress and say:

I’m calling to tell my (Representative/Senator) that we need health care reform that works for women. Please support and pass legislation that provides:

Coverage we can afford,
Comprehensive benefits we can count on, including reproductive health care, and
An end to insurance company discrimination against women.

-==-

Send this message to Congress, now:

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.

SINCERELY,

[YOUR NAME]
[YOUR ADDRESS]
[CITY, STATE, ZIP]
