Health Care Fight Continues

by Bill Miller

A few weeks ago Nancy Pelosi vowed to go over, around, or through the wishes of the American people to pass a health care bill they don't want, and can't afford. Now -- only a few days before the planned health summit with congressional leaders, the President has unveiled his massive $950 billion proposal, building on the flawed legislation passed by the House and Senate last year.

Despite demands from the American people to start over on health care -- the new White House proposal still increases penalties on businesses that do not sponsor the most generous health benefits, raises taxes, kills jobs, and increases costs.

Email Congress today and tell them we want them to start over to work toward real health care reform.

We do support health care reform, and we're willing to work with members of all political parties on a bipartisan bill that actually increases access to health care and reduces costs. But we're going to do everything we can with your help to not allow these deeply flawed bills to be forced on the American people. Tell Congress that real reform doesn't threaten American employers, hurt American families with onerous new taxes, add billions to the federal deficit, or create a new government-run health insurance program.

Remind them that the American people don't support the current bills -- and they shouldn't either.
