Support Health Care for All Children. Visit President-elect Obama's new transition website, change.gov. Complete the comment form and tell President-elect Obama to fulfill his campaign commitment to ensure every child in America has health coverage.
Ask him to ensure that any legislation enacted meets the following criteria:
Ensures every child and pregnant woman has access to affordable health coverage and health services.
Guarantees all children and pregnant women comprehensive benefits, which must include all medically necessary services.
Simplifies the application and enrollment process to make it easy for all children to get covered and stay covered.
Resist the temptation to go for a quick fix that falls far short of covering all children.
Submit your vision of a country where all children in America have health coverage!
Support the Employee Free Choice Act. This bill has been before Congress in the past, but with a new Congress and support from Barack Obama, 2009 represents our best chance in years to advance this legislation. Our lawmakers are setting their agenda as we speak – they need to hear from you. Sign the petition now!
The same anti-union groups who spent millions to defeat pro-worker candidates in the election will continue to spend money and put pressure on our leaders to defeat this bill. We have to keep working hard if this bill is going to become a reality. That starts with your signature today.
