Take Action: TrueMajority.org

Don't let insurance companies dictate reform!

Obama's committed to giving us the option of a public insurance plan in the past, but insurance companies are trying to talk him out of his pledge by promising to cut costs. And while we can't get a seat at the President's table, we DO have access to a widely-read public forum: our local newspapers. Write a letter to your local paper that reminds Congress and the President that health care reform needs to work for us, and demand a public option.

We've included some talking points to help you get started, but your letter will be most powerful if you tell your own story, keep it short, and use your own words. Once you are finished with your letter, simply click on the 'Send Message' button and your letter will be sent. This will also confirm your TrueMajority membership.

Yesterday the insurance industry and their allies promised President Obama that they'll cut health care cost inflation by 1.5% a year.

The insurance companies want us to believe this is a big deal, but it's not.

Heath care costs are actually rising by more than 6% a year, and the industry is only promising voluntary efforts to trim that.

This is a disingenuous attempt by the health insurance companies to derail health care reform we need.

The only way to make reform work for patients and payers is to allow the option of a public insurance plan.

A fair, competitive public insurance plan will compel the insurance industry to find the savings they've promised, and give Americans another choice if they don't.

Obama and lots of congressional leaders have committed to that in the past, but insurance companies are trying to talk them out of it

Congress and the President should not listen to the insurance companies. They should listen to voters

Congress and the President must pass health care reform this year that gives us the option of a public plan.
