Right now, we have a historic, once-in-a-generation opportunity to finally win the type of change America’s health care needs.

With passage of the Senate's version of health reform legislation, Congressional offices have already begun discussions on reconciling the House and Senate health care bills.

The pressure is on to resolve differences between the two bills and deliver the strongest possible bill for President Obama's signature.

Problem

Every year, Americans pay more and more but get less and less when it comes to health care.

Spiraling health care costs have driven the average job-based family insurance plan to more than $12,000 a year, and that price tag is expected to double by 2016.

America’s health care system is structured for drug industry, insurance company, and medical specialty profits, not better health outcomes for you. 

We are fighting for affordable health care that every family can depend on by:

• Stopping insurance companies from discriminating against people with pre-existing conditions.
 
• Trimming costly red tape and overhead through simplified insurance forms, information technology and insurer-efficiency standards.
 
• Rewarding personalized care from your provider and prevention, not just endless tests, procedures and emergency room visits.
 
• Giving every patient and doctor the most up-to-date information on which treatments and medicines work best.
 
• Making insurance plans compete for your business, by letting Americans choose the care that’s right for them
