Dear [ Decision Maker ],

As Congress considers comprehensive healthcare reform, I am writing to urge you to craft a plan that will guarantee high-quality and affordable healthcare for all.

Healthcare reform is a crucial ingredient in strengthening this country. Rising healthcare costs put a tremendous strain on families, businesses, state governments and the federal budget. By working together to enact fair reform, we can create a better healthcare system that truly serves all Americans, making us healthier both physically and economically.

Successful reform should establish a comprehensive public plan that guarantees a choice of high-quality, affordable coverage, whether through an individual, employer-based plan or a government-sponsored, public health insurance plan.

I am strongly opposed to any proposal to tax employer-provided health insurance, and I urge you to reject such a plan if it emerges. Individuals already are struggling to pay for the rising costs of healthcare. Taxing employer-provided plans would be an additional expense for 160 million Americans who get their health benefits through their employers. Introducing a new tax on health benefits is the wrong prescription for fixing and reforming healthcare.

In addition, please consider the millions of healthcare providers by ensuring safe-staffing standards in healthcare facilities. Adequate staffing not only saves lives but also saves money.
