President Obama, Secretary-designate Daschle and our new Congress are charged with delivering health care reforms that we can support and believe in.
Tell the new administration how you feel about health care reform. Do you have a story to share? Have you experienced first-hand the consequences of a government-run health care system?
Citizens in countries around the world have experienced first-hand the consequences of government-run health care systems. People in Canada and the United Kingdom suffer from long waitlists, rationing of treatments and procedures, denial of certain medicines and a shrinking number of family and specialty physicians.
Take action now by sending a message to President Obama. Let’s promote a constructive, honest dialogue and create a positive health care solution in 2009.
Dear Mr. President,
I believe that health care reform must: Protect the innovation and quality that has made the United States a global leader in the development of life-sustaining and -saving medicines, treatments and cures; Improve access, reduce costs and improve the strength of health care for all Americans; and, NOT result in longer wait times to see a health care provider, new limitations to the types of treatments and medicines patients can access, or government interference in the relationship between doctor and patient.
