TEXAS AFT LEGISLATIVE HOTLINE--TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2009
 
Trick or Treatment? Submit Your Health-Care Horror Stories
Receiving medical treatment should not be a scary thing. Unfortunately, for many Americans, it is. Personal stories are the best tools of education for members of Congress. They ought to know what is really happening to their constituents. Take time to share your personal "scary" health-care story with your members of Congress.

As the legislation works its way through the House and Senate, we'll be asking you to contact senators and House members, so stay tuned. 

For those of you who use Facebook, you can post the following to get friends in the loop: "Trick or Treatment?  Receiving medical treatment should not be a scary thing.
