This Saturday, the House of Representatives will vote on the future of Health Care. The NAACP has been a strong advocate for reform - unless we pass a strong bill, the color of your skin, your economic status, and where you live will continue to influence the access, quality and cost of your care. You can do something about this right now.

Hello, my name is ________. I live in [city or town] and I am a voter in your district. I am calling you today in conjunction with the NAACP to urge you make sure that health care refom become reality this weekend.
Americans continue to suffer every day that goes by without health care reform, and communities of color bear the biggest share of the burden. We are counting on you to pass this legislation. Thank you. |
The stakes could not be higher. The lack of universal health care leaves many in our community uninsured - a gap that resulted in the deaths of 880,000 African Americans over a 10-year period. Every 12 minutes across the entire United States, someone dies from the lack of health insurance. . Dial 1-866-783-2462 to talk to your member of Congress. Health Care Reform is literally a matter of life and death. Real people are suffering, but we have the potential to make a change this weekend. Please make this call - now is the time to be heard. .
