Health Care Now!

Now is the time to speak out on health care!

Please feel free to use this sample letter to email your US senator.



We most strongly urge you to support a single-payer health plan. Americans can longer afford to be at the mercy of predatory, monopolistic, and unpatriotic drug and insurance companies.
In the greatest country in the world, nobody should die because of their inability to pay for health care. This is the most important issue our country has faced in the last fifty years.
We are not asking for luxury care, only for the type of system that most industrialized countries of the world already have successfully implemented...
If Congress can have health care coverage, why not its constituents?


To email your senator to to http://www.senate.gov/ and then find your state’s two senators. Remember that they work for you and not the drug companies.

Washington:
Maria Cantwell
Parry Murray

Oregon
Ron Wyden
Jeff Merkley
