Action Alert!
Health
Care Reform
Urgent! Last chance to
act before Senate session ends.
What You Can Do:
CALL
your State Senator immediately
by 5:00 P.M. Friday, October 3, and ask him/her
to
support affordable health insurance for the uninsured.
You can find your State Senator’s phone number by
entering your zip code in the “Find Your Elected
Officials” box in the lower left-hand corner of the
LAMPa website (www.lamp.org).
Be sure to click on the “state” tab!
Act now! The Senate only has three session days
left!
Background:
(For
more information, see the
Health Care Reform
Issue Brief
on the LAMPa website)
Our health care system is the most expensive in the
world. Yet as a system, it fails to come close to
providing the best health care in the world. Despite
our best efforts, there are still approximately 800,000
uninsured Pennsylvanians!
Thank you for all your letters and e-mails! Now
it’s time to Call your State Senator to remind
him/her that access to affordable health insurance must
be expanded, including coverage for prescription
drugs! Negotiations between House Democrats, Senate
Republicans, and the Governor’s Office are going on
right now, but time will run out on Friday, Oct. 3rd.
The Senate must hear from you that their inability to
come up with a compromise is unacceptable!
***Please
file a post-advocacy report with the LAMPa office
by mail, telephone (717) 545-3500, or email (lampa@lamp.org)
with the highlights/responses of your advocacy
efforts.***
