National Health Care Reform Call-in Day: October 20
Make the Commitment.  Make Three Calls. Join a Phone Bank.

The House and Senate have made great progress in drafting a comprehensive bill to fix our health care system. But it’s not over till the President has a real reform bill on his desk. Among the many opportunities to work toward meaningful health care reform this month are events on the October 20th “It’s Time to Deliver”  National Day of Action. Groups across the state - and the country - are working together to generate 100,000 calls on one single day.  

Make Three Calls on October 20:

Senator Bill Nelson: 202-224-5274

Senator George LeMieux: 202-224-3041

Call and ask for your Member of Congress: 202-224-3121 

Tell them it’s time to deliver on a bill that offers affordable, accessible care with protection from tragic exclusions and lapses. We cannot afford to wait.
