Tell Governor Schwarzenegger: Don't Veto AB 8!
All year in the making, we're finally headed to the Governor's desk with a strong health reform bill!
On Monday, September 10, both the state Senate and Assembly passed AB 8, the labor-backed health care reform legislation. This important bill will establish a minimum standard, like the minimum wage, for employer health care spending. It will also help control the out-of-control growth of health care costs.
The bill now heads to Governor Schwarzenegger who, despite his public statements calling for reform, has pledged to veto it.
Please take a minute to send the letter below letting Governor Schwarzenegger know that working families are counting on this reform and that a veto of AB 8 is nothing more than an empty promise!

Subject: No More Empty Promises... Don't Veto AB 8!
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
You promised that this would be the year of health reform. I'm ready to see that promise put into action.
The legislature has passed AB 8, a bill for real health reform. This important bill will expand health care coverage to millions of Californians and make sure that it's affordable for the millions of us who are already insured.
Just like your proposal, AB 8 will require insurance companies to actually spend our health care dollars providing health care. It will give health care consumers better information about the cost and quality of health care services.
This bill takes significant steps toward fixing our health care system and is the only real option for real health care reform this year.
If you are serious about wanting to fix health care this year, I urge you to sign AB 8.
Sincerely,
|
