As you probably know, health care reform is
making its way through Congress. This week, the House of
Representatives introduced their health care reform bill.
The bill is strong in many ways, but two single-payer
amendments that were promised a vote this fall were not in
it. The House leadership still has the power to
change that.
One of the amendments, introduced by Rep.
Dennis Kucinich, would allow states to implement state-wide
single-payer systems. The other, by Rep. Anthony
Weiner, would call for a vote on
national single-payer legislation for the first time in
history.
We need your voice to get these
amendments back on the table. Call:
- Speaker Nancy Pelosi: DC (202) 225.4965 -
SF (415) 556.4862
- Rep. George Miller: DC (202) 225.2095 -
Concord (925) 602.1880
- Rep. Henry Waxman: DC (202) 225.3976
- LA (323) 651.1040
The message is simple: Keep the Kucinich
Amendment to allow states to pass single-payer, and allow Rep.
Anthony Weiner introduce his single-payer amendment!
