Health Care For America Now Writes: House Votes Tomorrow!

The House will likely vote on their historic health care bill tomorrow. Now is the time to call your Representative in Washington and make sure they know you stand for quality, affordable health care for all.

Actors Martin Sheen and Stockard Channing, who've had some on-screen "experience" with politics, have recorded a special message for Health Care for America Now supporters for this moment.

Click here to watch the video and make a call:

Congress really needs to hear your voice right now to make sure the House passes this bill. This is the first of the big votes - the first time an entire House of Congress is set to pass comprehensive health care legislation in this country's history. If you've never made a call for us before, please pick up the phone today.

The House health care bill will provide tax credits to working families to make sure everyone can afford health care. It prohibits insurance companies from denying care if you have a pre-existing condition, or charging you more if you're a woman. It strengthens Medicare and the coverage you get at work to make sure you have the care you need. And it includes a strong public health insurance option to keep the insurance companies honest and give us a choice.

The bill meets all of Health Care for America Now's principles for real reform, and it would provide quality, affordable health care for everyone in America.
