Write a Letter to the Editor in Support of Health Care Reform

It may seem old-fashioned in the Internet age, but members of Congress and the general public still take letters to the editor very seriously. Advice from doctors on matters related to health care is critical to generating public support for real reform. As President Obama recently said at the American Medical Association Conference, "to most Americans, you are the health care system. The fact is Americans -- and I include myself and Michelle and our kids in this -- we just do what you tell us to do. We listen to you, we trust you."
