Pennsylvania has a health care crisis for patients as well as doctors. We have a chance right now to make a difference in this crisis if you call your State House member right now. I mean NOW.

Message: I support passage of SB 1137 with the Eachus Amendment. Vote 'Yes' on the Eachus Amendment only, pass SB 1137 and expand access to over 200,000 uninsured Pennsylvanians.

If you're worried about health care costs, then you might as well let whoever answers the phone know that you support HB 2005 as well. That bill gives the insurance commissioner power to make sure that healthcare savings get passed on to insurance purchasers (as well as forbidding insurers from denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions).

A lot has changed about the big new plan to cover more people, and I'll try to write more about this soon. But call with this message now. We've got a shot at getting a lot more coverage for people.

You can look up your legislator with the little box in the upper left cover of this box. You'll need your Zip+4. If you don't know it, you can look that up here.
