Get Involved! Demand Health Care NOW Senate debate

The health care bill has hit the Senate.

This week, the Senate began debate on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The debate in the Senate is expected to be a long and complicated process, carrying on for upwards of three weeks.

During the debate, health care reform opponents will resort to desperate measures to stop this legislation, using stall tactics and other procedural tricks like filibusters. It's up to people like you and me to make sure this bill keeps moving.

For the health and well-being of men, women, and children across the country, we need the Senate to pass this bill as soon as possible. Sign our petition asking Senators across the aisle to come together for all Americans.

Since you are an important member of the Stand Up For Health Care community, we wanted to keep you up to date on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as it currently stands before the Senate.

Our policy experts have reviewed the bill and have found that among many other improvements, this legislation will lower costs for small businesses and working families. The bill will also lower premiums, providing significant savings for lower- and middle-income Americans. A public option in the bill will provide more choice in coverage. And, most importantly to some, the bill will allow Americans to keep their current insurance if they are happy with it.

We believe the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will help millions of Americans—but it can only help us once it’s passed.

Stand up for health care today. Tell the Senate not to stall on health care reform:
