Led by President Obama, Congress is on the verge of passing landmark legislation that will make health care affordable and available to all Americans.

Corporate interests have put together a professional campaign to silence and intimidate those who want to fix our broken health care system.

This health care reform is worth fighting for. President Obama’s health care reform plan:

• Puts you and your doctor—not the insurance companies—in charge of your health care.
• Gets a grip on health care costs that are crushing us which will help our contract negotiations.
• Will improve health care quality by curbing insurance company abuses, rewarding doctors for improving the quality instead of quantity of care and forcing insurers to compete with a quality public health insurance plan.
• Will help employers by making it easier to provide and pay for health benefits.
• Has a strong public plan option to keep insurance companies honest and drive out waste.
• Means health care will be there for you, no matter what. You can’t fall through the cracks.
• Finally, non-union companies will have to pay their fair share instead of dumping their health care costs on the rest of us.

As a union member, contact your Member of Congress and remind them that our broken health care system needs to be fixed, so that all Americans have acess to the health care they deserve.
