Stand Tall for America: Support Health Care for All!

Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: Stand Tall for America

It's time for universal health care.  Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) has proposed the Healthy Americans Act, and it would guarantee everyone health care that is:

  • Universal. Every American will have guaranteed health care.
  • Comprehensive.  A high quality plan - as good as what members of Congress get.
  • Portable.  It's your health care, and you can take it with you if you change jobs, are laid off, go to school, start a new business, or become too sick to work.
  • Non-discriminatory.  We'll ban "pre-existing conditions" and make sure that every pays a fair price for equal, high quality, coverage.
  • Affordable.  Under $40,000 income?  You'll pay less than you do now.  Under $150,000 income?  You'll pay about $1 a day more than today for guaranteed coverage.

Can the Healthy Americans Act be a reality?  Yes.  There are already over a dozen bipartisan co-sponsors in the U.S. Senate.

Once the Healthy Americans Act passes, we will have universal, affordable, comprehensive, portable, high-quality, private health coverage - within one year.  There's no reason to wait.  The Act even saves money through wellness and prevention - $1.48 trillion in one respected, independent study.

The Healthy Americans Act puts you in charge of your health care choices, not your employer.  Every American will feel secure, knowing that your health care won't ever go away.  And 46 million Americans will get the comprehensive health care they need.

But we need your help to make the Healthy Americans Act a reality.  We need a few more Senators to sign on as co-sponsors - so tell your Senators to support the Healthy Americans Act today!

Dear Senator [Last Name]:

At this moment, 46 million Americans are uninsured. For workers and their families who have health insurance through their employers, many are afraid that they will lose coverage if they change jobs, are laid off, go to school or become too sick to work.

But the Healthy Americans Act, a bi-partisan health care reform plan by Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon), would guarantee every American universal, affordable, comprehensive, portable, high-quality, private health coverage that is as good or better than Members of Congress have today. The Act includes tough cost containment measures -- and would save Americans $1.45 trillion over the next decade.

The Healthy Americans Act:

- Guarantees private health care coverage that doesn't go away, even if you change jobs, lose your job, retire, go to school or become too sick to work.
- Provides a generous benefit equal to those of Members of Congress.
We signed the “Stand Tall for America: Support Health Care for All!” petition!

Due to the fact that many Americans do not have health insurance, whether they work or not, it is vital that there is a health care reform! It needs to be affordable and without discrimination. We do NOT need socialized medicine like Canada, but reform where we have caring medical staff and doctors, who are willing to sacrifice their time and knowledge for and to the people.

It is a shame to witness firsthand the amount of people unable to go to the doctor for lack of healthcare. This is the richest country in the world and people cannot afford to go to the doctor. What a shame.
