From the AFM's Legislative Office
Health Care Campaign

The House of Representatives is considering a health care reform bill, "America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009," that is by far the most progressive proposal yet this year. The bill meets President Obama's goals of controlling runaway health care costs, offering the American people real choices, making health care universal, and financing expanded coverage with a surcharge on the wealthiest Americans. AFM is pleased to see that the bill also has a strong public health insurance plan option.

 

This bill will be voted on before the House recesses at the end of the month, so now is the time to act.

 

Please contact your Representative today, urging their support for the America’s Affordable Health Choices Act. 

 

Sample Letter for Campaign

Subject: Take Action on Health Care

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

I am writing to you today to urge your support for H.R. 3200, America's Affordable Health Choices Act. This bill provides quality affordable health care for all Americans and controls health care cost growth.

We need a public health insurance plan that provides a real alternative to private plans that profit from denying care and shortchanging coverage, and this must be done without taxing workers' health care benefits. America's Affordable Health Choices Act does just that. For that reason, I ask you to please support this important legislation.

Sincerely,

Campaign Launched:
