Tell Congress: Health Care Reform Can't Wait!
There has been a lot of recent action on health care reform. Two weeks ago, the U.S. House of Representatives released and the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee passed health care reform legislation that include some solid provisions that will benefit low-income people living with HIV/AIDS and other chronic conditions. Despite this progress, their colleagues in the Senate Finance Committee must pick up the pace to advance the health care reform process instead of intentionally slowing it down. President Obama has called for the House and Senate to pass their versions by the end of July so a final bill can be negotiated by October. That deadline is coming up quickly. We must maintain the momentum. We will not have this chance again!
Tell Congress: Health Care Reform Can't Wait!
Congress is scheduled to begin its summer recess next week. Make your voice heard TODAY! Tell Congress that securing meaningful health care reform is a top priority. Please take a few minutes to urge your Members of Congress to act quickly to pass legislation that helps people with HIV and others who need access to high quality health care.
