To Congress and the White House:

We need and support real health reform.  Stick us with us and demand a bill that preserves and expands the strongest points of House and Senate proposals, starting on day one:

1. A public option is critical to advance access, quality, affordability and cost control.  At a minimun, add a buy-in to Medicare immediately for people age 50 and over.

2. All plans must be affordable, limit out-of-pocket expenses, require fair financing by employers and high-income individuals, end insurance company abuses, and require insurance companies to spend at least 90% of revenues on health care. 

The federal government should promote innovations in delivery and financing of health care, including more primary care providers and public health funding.

3. Defeat diversions on wedge issues:
Advance reproductive rights.  

Assure that all people who live in the U.S., including immigrants, have access affordable, quality, culturally appropriate care.

4. Promote states’ ability to move to single payer systems.
This historic bill will be an important step forward.  States must be empowered to advance to a single payer system.
