Something YOU can do

I received an email from Stand Up for Health Care suggesting we all get involved in Health Care Reform. HEALTH CARE NOW is my attempt at getting involved. YOUR TURN

Death panels? Socialized medicine? What won't they say to stop reform?

Opponents of HEALTH CARE NOW are stopping at nothing to block health insurance reform, even if it means shouting outright lies in the media and in their communities. You can do something to help to take back the conversation and put an end to their disgraceful tactics.

Currently, your Senators and Representatives are in their home States. They are visiting local communities and holding town halls about health care reform. Attend a town hall near you and represent the truth. Find a local event near you at http://www.standupforhealthcare.org/

The majority of Americans recognize the urgent need for reform and support it. Don’t let shouting from angry mobs stop HEALTH CARE NOW.

Combat the false rhetoric, and give your representatives the best reasons for health insurance reform....your own personal stories. Communicate your issues about denial of coverage due to pre existing conditions, delay in treatment, denial of payment, extraordinary premiums that line the pockets of insurance company executives and shareholders. Talk about how WASTE exacerbates the high costs of health care. Talk about how life style impacts health (obesity, smoking, abuse of drugs and alcohol), and how we need primary prevention programs to promote health and avoid illness.

Talk about how we need to educate parents, teachers, and school boards about basic health, and more importantly, WELLNESS. The best cost containment method is to avoid illness. We all need to change the way we think about our health in order to change our behavior regarding our health. These are the issues that should be SHOUTED to our representatives. You know the truth, it is time you personally get involved.

With your help, we can fight back with the truth and obtain HEALTH CARE NOW for all Americans. Tell your neighbors and friends what the real facts are about health care reform.
