Dear Linda,
Real health care reform—now is the time! Never has the political will been so strong or the need been so great. The commitment for reform is strong from President Obama, our leaders in Congress and activists like you.
To maintain our momentum, we must continue to press our case here in Washington, D.C., in the media and in cities and towns across the country. A key part of our case for health care reform is the information, very real stories and recommended areas of reform from people like you.
Your voice is critical. Take the 2009 Health Care for America Survey and tell us your story. (Individual survey responses are kept completely confidential, but we'll share the tallied results with leaders at all levels of government and the media—and you can choose whether to make your health care story public.)
The 2009 Health Care for America Survey is sponsored by the AFL-CIO, the largest organization of working people in America, and Working America, the 2.5 million-member community affiliate of the AFL-CIO. More than 26,000 of you completed the 2008 survey, gaining widespread media coverage and keeping health care at the top of the national agenda during the 2008 elections. This year, we expect even more responses.
Some questions from this year’s survey:
- In the past year, have you or has someone in your family lost health coverage because of losing a job or changing jobs?
- Are you able to get the health care you need at a price you can afford?
- If you could change one thing about the way health care insurance works, what would it be?
Take the survey now and share your health care story. Help make the case for real reform that real working families need.
To turn our economy around to work for working families, we need to fix our broken health care system. As President Obama has said, "Health care reform cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year."
Congress is preparing for a major health care reform debate this year as well. As members begin to draft reform legislation—and even before they start—it is critical that they hear from working families about how the health care system works today (or doesn't).
Please make your voice heard by completing this survey, telling your health care story and encouraging your friends, co-workers and family members to do so, too. We'll share the compiled survey results with national and state leaders and the media.
Take the survey now and tell your story!
In this great country, no one should go without health care.
In solidarity,
Marc Laitin
AFL-CIO Online Mobilization Coordinator
P.S. We want to hear from as many voices as we can as we fight for secure, high-quality health care. Get your friends, family members and anyone else you know to take part today in the 2009 Health Care for America Survey.
