The House of Representatives recently unveiled America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 -- comprehensive health care reform legislation that will finally lower health care costs, provide a public option and offer greater choice and a higher quality of care for all Americans.
But before the ink even dried on the bill, the Republicans and their special-interest friends took to the airwaves, spreading lies and misleading statistics to try and obstruct this progress.
We need your support to ensure the House health care bill remains strong! Encourage your Representative to maintain the strongest provisions and support America's Affordable Health Choices Act.
We took action on “Support Historic Health Care Bill”!

We are the last western, industrialized nation NOT to have comprehensive medical care. Businesses here are burdened by the costs of insuring employees. Businesses in other western, industrialized nations are not burdened by these costs.

Furthermore, I fully support the smart choice for the bill not to cover costs of abortion procedures, as the majority of Americans oppose them.
