Demand Quality, Affordable Health Care for All

Target: U.S. Congress
Sponsored by: Health Care for American Now (HCAN)

82% of Americans think our health care system needs a "major overhaul."

With the economy continuing to worsen, this hope for change isn't hard to understand. Health care premiums have risen 86% between 2000 and 2006, putting a strain on working families. In fact, health care costs are the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the United States. The rising cost of health is being born by working families, American businesses, and the government.

To keep American workers at their best, and to keep American business competitive in the world, something has to change. Ask your senators and representatives if they're for quality, affordable health care for all? Or whether they're with the insurance companies, working to preserve our broken system?

Health Care for America Now (HCAN) is an unprecedented coalition of more than 135 national and state-based groups that represent labor, community organizations, doctors, nurses, women, small business, faith-based organizations, people of color, netroots activists, and think tanks.

We are organizing millions of Americans to ensure that 2009 is the year that the nation enacts an American solution that will guarantee our families' health and a healthy economy. Our current health care system in America is not affordable for families, businesses, or government, and it fails to provide a guarantee of quality health care when you need it.

Health Care for America Now offers a bold vision for health care reform. Our Statement of Common Purpose calls for reform that is built on our current health care system and at the same time, guarantees quality, affordable health care for everyone.

I've not been able to afford health insurance for over a decade. Fortunately, I am healthy. But I know many, many people who are seeing their very expensive insurance cut more and more from what is covered and their incomes are not keeping pace.
