133 million Americans live with a chronic illness. And right now, insurance companies are denying care to patients with pre-existing conditions -- for a profit.

Health insurance companies can decide which pre-existing conditions they will cover for new policyholders, which discriminates against millions of hardworking Americans who are searching for new jobs or changing companies.

Simply put, insurance companies are taking advantage of sick Americans. With promises of health care reform on the rise, we must act now to end this injustice in both the individual and employer-based insurance markets.

Ensure health insurance providers don't discriminate against or deny people insurance based on pre-existing conditions. Tell Congress to provide a choice of health care plans Americans can afford -- even people with chronic health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.

Dear Representative,

133 million Americans live with a chronic illness. And right now, insurance companies are denying care to patients with pre-existing conditions -- for a profit.

Health insurance companies can decide which pre-existing conditions they will cover for new policyholders, which discriminates against millions of hardworking Americans who are searching for new jobs or changing companies.

Simply put, insurance companies are taking advantage of sick Americans. With promises of health care reform on the rise, we must act now to end this injustice in both the individual and employer-based insurance markets.

Ensure health insurance providers don't discriminate against or deny people insurance based on pre-existing conditions. Please provide a choice of health care plans Americans can afford -- even people with chronic health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.

Comprehensive health care reform is rare and difficult to accomplish, so take advantage of this historic time and make the right decisions to protect the American people.
