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!

Yes, now is the time for our country to follow the lead of other advanced nations. If Canada, the UK, France, the Scandinavian countries, Japan, and other wealthy advanced nations can have free health care for their citizens, then we can have universal health care as well. Now is the time to give free, quality universal health care for all citizens here in the United States. Now is the time!

Everyone should have access to healthcare. And those that have healthcare often do not have enough. America is rich enough to provide healthcare...especially since we can afford a trillion dollars for a war.

Oh, please! We need this so badly. I personally have known of members of our "working poor" that ran high temps, coughed and spit blood, etc and could not access any quality care at all. Sure, the poor uninsured or underinsured can go to an emergency room but not only does that drive up costs, it weakens care for everyone. And quality care is not given. Please, we need this help.

for all us citizens only: we can't pay the bills for the world, our own economy is a mess because of excessive aid and wars in other countries and underwriting immigrants and "refugees". Time to take care of our own citizens.
