Health care reform: Do something!
March 9, 2010
My mother’s neighbor, who lives alone, fell and broke her leg coming down the stairs. Unemployed, uninsured and afraid to call for help, she spent the night at the bottom of the stairs with intolerable pain. Embarrassed, she admitted that she was more afraid of not being able to pay for emergency care than of her injuries. Angrily my mother implored, “Do something!” Is this how America takes care of its people?
Call your Congressmen and Senators. Let them know that the majority of Americans support the President’s Health Care-Reform bill. If we do nothing, expect more Americans to lose their health coverage or be denied coverage when they get sick, premiums will continue to skyrocket, seniors will continue without medicine they need because they cannot afford their growing prescription bill, and expect the US deficit to keep growing.
To love your neighbor is more than just words. Act now.
Thank you,
