Your help is needed NOW to fight for the passage of health care reform. in light of this Tuesday’s Massachusetts election and the media narrative stating that health care reform is dead, the future of health care reform hangs in the balance. But the need for increased access to health coverage has not changed due to one election race (14,000 people in this country lose their health coverage daily, millions more have coverage that fails them when they need it most, people are denied coverage due to pre-existing conditions) and the public still supports meaningful reform and taking reform efforts to the finish line.

The status quo is unacceptable. We can’t forget what we are fighting for: If we pass health reform, over 30 million people in America will finally have access to quality, affordable care. Insurance companies won’t be able to deny consumers coverage because of a pre-existing condition. Health reform will also lower costs and improve quality of care. We’ll all be more secure.

Lunch will be provided.
