Let’s Pass Health Care Reform
It’s not the bill many of us hoped and fought for, but nonetheless we may soon reach the end of years of inaction and a massive struggle for change.
The bill is compromised, yes, but it’s still worth it. Though important parts of reform won’t go into effect for a couple years, there are significant changes that will happen this year, from beginning to close the donut hole to requiring free preventive care in new plans to funding community health centers.
And in the longer term, it will extend coverage to 30 million more people.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka fought hard to make the bill better; now he explains why he thinks it’s time to fight to pass this bill.
So it’s time to make that final push. Call your representatives in Congress now and urge them to vote yes.
