Health Care Reform: Why Now?
Be Part of the Solution
 
 
 

Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane

 

Harry and Louise: Then and Now
1993   2009

Louise: But this was covered under our old health insurance plan.

 

Harry: Yea, that was a good one, wasn't it?

 

Moderator: Things are changing and not all for the better. The government may force us to pick from a few health insurance plans designed by Washington bureaucrats.

 

Louise: Having choices we don't like isn’t having any choices at all.

 

Harry: And they choose.

 

Louise: And we lose.

 

Moderator: For reforms that protect what we have, call toll free 1-800-285-HEALTH. Know the Facts. If we let the government chose, we lose. Call today.

 

Harry: Louise, Todd was just telling me that his state has community rating.

 

Louise: Everyone pays the same rate, no matter their age, if they smoke or whatever.

 

Harry: Does it work?

 

Todd: My health insurance went from $1200 to $3200 a year.

 

Harry: More than doubled?

 

Todd: Yea, thousands dropped their insurance. We actually have fewer covered now than before.

 

Harry: Congress can do better than that.

 

Louise: If we send them that message.

 

Moderator: To send Congress a message on flat community rating, call today.

Louise and Harry re-appear a bit older and with much different concerns:

 

Harry: Health care costs are up again. Small companies are being forced to cut their plans.

 

Louise: Tell me about it. You know, Lisa's husband just found out he has cancer.

 

Harry: But he's covered. Right?

 

Louise: No, he just joined a start up and can't afford a plan.

 

Harry: Too many people are falling through the cracks.

 

Louise: Whoever the next president is, health care should be at the top of his agenda.
