Health Care Reform

Health Care Reform

Dear Kurt,

What a moment! Last night, 219 Democrats and one Republican in the U.S. House, including your representative, Rep. Henry Waxman, voted to pass a health care reform bill that will end insurance company abuses, require employers to pay a fair share and establish a strong public option to lower costs and make insurance companies compete. And it won't tax the benefits of hard-working middle class families.

With the opponents of reform working hard to go after representatives who voted right, I need you to call and thank your representative today for voting for the kind of health care reform working families need.

Call and thank Rep. Waxman today:

D.C. Office: (202) 225-3976

When you call, make sure to thank your representative for voting for H.R. 3962—the Affordable Health Care for America Act—historic legislation that includes a public health insurance option, guarantees that employers pay their fare share and doesn't tax our benefits.

After you call, click here to tell us about your call.

This is a truly historic moment and one that many of us have been fighting for decades to achieve. Thank you for what you have done to make this happen. While we enjoy this success, it is important to remember the battle is far from over. The Senate still has to vote on its health care bill, and then the Senate bill will have to be combined with the House bill.

We will win in the end, but final victory is going to take more relentless work by each and every one of us. Please call and thank your representative today.

Thank you,

Richard Trumka
AFL-CIO President
