Tell Congress: Protect Consumers and Hold the Big Wall Street Banks Accountable!

Call Senator Jack Reed Toll Free TODAY at 1-866-544-7573.

Tell Senator Reed to support financial reform that holds big Wall Street Banks accountable.

 

Historic health reform has passed! The bill is a victory for the American people:

  • Insurance companies can no longer deny care for pre-existing conditions, charge you more if you’re sick, cap your benefits, sell you junk insurance, or raise rates with impunity.
  • For the first time, Members of Congress will get their health insurance from the same system regular Americans do.
  • Small business and working families will security and stability knowing they can afford good health insurance that meets their needs.
  • 32 million uninsured Americans will get affordable coverage, saving over 30,000 lives per year.

Read an op-ed from a Rhode Island emergency physician explaining why we need reform.
