Last week, President Obama showed his determination in achieving real healthcare reform, with "the choice of a public health insurance option operating alongside private plans."

Sounds pretty reasonable, right? A public health insurance option would give Americans more choice—and give healthy competition to the private insurance industry.

So call your Representative today by clicking here: http://www.unionvoice.org/afscme/support_a_public_option.html

...or edit and send the letter below:

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

Today more than 40 million Americans are uninsured. Insurance companies have proven again and again they have no interest in making health care more affordable, or in expanding coverage.

And just two weeks ago, premiums for non-group insurance increased to 52%. Yes, you read correctly. While hard-working Americans are taking furloughs and even losing their jobs, insurance companies are jacking up their prices.

Please support a real public health insurance option that promotes choice and competition to improve health care quality and make it more affordable.

We can't afford more of the same broken health care system.

Sincerely,
