Dear AFGE Activist,

We need real health care reform now! We can't afford for Congress to wait any longer.

We need to fix health care with a quality Medicare-style public health insurance option "that will keep private insurance companies honest";  a requirement for employers to pay their fair share; and strong regulations that prevent insurance companies denying coverage or refusing to pay for care.  And we need effective measures to bring costs down for everyone, including federal employees and the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP).

This is the moment we've been waiting for. Please take a few minutes of your time today call your lawmakers. Urget them to support real health care reform today.

Call your lawmakers toll free today: 1-877-264-4226

This is a historic opportunity to improve our health care system, and we need every member of Congress to understand this. We need you to call on your lawmakers and tell them you demand real health care reform with the following three conditions:
- A quality public health insurance option "to keep the private insurance companies honest" and bring down prices.
- Requirements that all employers pay their fair share.
- No new taxes on health insurance benefits paid for by employers, such as FEHBP.

Working together, we can make sure everyone in America has access to secure, high quality, and affordable health care, including federal employees who have continued to be gouged by the insurance companies in FEHBP.

Call and tell your lawmakers to support real health care reform: 1-877-264-4226

It's absolutely critical that you call today. Insurance company lobbyists are doing everything they can to slow down the process and ultimately kill any changes that benefit working families. Don't let them block reform. The time for waiting is done. We want quality and accessible health care for all NOW. Call your representative today.

In solidarity,

John Gage
National President, AFGE

P.S. We voted for change last November. Now it's time for Congress to deliver real health care reform. Call your representative today: 1-877-264-4226
