Ask Congress to Sign the "Health Care for America Now!" Pledge

You know that it's past time for an American solution that will guarantee our families' health and a healthy economy. The first order of business for the new President and Congress in 2009 should be health care legislation that guarantees quality, affordable health care for all.

We all agree that the longer we wait to fix our broken health care system, the harder it will be for us to get the health care we need. But what kind of solution do we want? A solution in which all of us -- individuals, employers, and government -- share responsibility for guaranteeing access to health care we all can count on? Or a scenario in which we are on our own when it comes to getting health care?

We need to let Congress know now that we need a solution that provides quality, affordable health care for all, not a solution that will reward insurance and drug companies and tell ordinary Americans, "You're on your own."

We need your help!

Write to your members of Congress and ask them to sign our "Health Care for America Now!" pledge.

We face a dynamic moment in this country when reforming our broken health care system is a top priority across the board, for families, businesses and care providers alike. Our legislators are listening, and they need to hear from frontline providers of care like you, who day-in and day-out see the complications of our current system and how badly it fails so many of our patients.

We may not yet have hammered out all the details, but we can at least express our principles for quality, affordable health care for all -- guaranteed coverage and care for everyone in America; cost controls that improve quality and benefit our patients rather than insurance companies' and drug companies' bottom lines; and coverage that is affordable for working families, retirees, small businesses, and other employees.

Ask Congress to sign our "Health Care for America Now!" pledge.
