Remember: Today is National Call-in Day for Health Care. We all need to call our representatives in the U.S. House today and tell them to support the House health care reform bill, (H.R. 3200).
Call 1-877-264-4226 or e-mail or fax your lawmaker with the same message. Click here to find your representative and his or her contact information.
The House bill contains a public health insurance plan option and shared responsibility, including an employer “pay or play” requirement—and does not tax health care benefits working families receive through their jobs.
But get this: The AP is reporting today that the public option is in danger—making it even more necessary for us to tell Congress.
National Call-in Day is sponsored by Health Care for America Now! (HCAN) and supported by AFL-CIO unions, state federations, central labor councils, community allies and health care advocates.
Get Set for National Call-In Day for Health Care, July 28

While Congress is on recess in August, 400,000 Americans will lose their health care coverage, according to the Center for American Progress (CAP).
Members of Congress have heard plenty from the big health insurance companies and the corporate health industry and their Republican allies who have lobbied hard to water down or kill health care reform legislation that will cover the uninsured and help working families keep their health care coverage in the face of skyrocketing costs.
Now it’s time for Congress to hear the voices of America’s workers. Together with Health Care for America Now! (HCAN), AFL-CIO unions, state federations, central labor councils, community allies and health care advocates are mobilizing for a National Call-In Day for Health Care tomorrow, July 28, from 9 a.m. EDT to 5 p.m. EDT.
