Dear Patients First supporter,
Washington is inching ever closer to taking over our health care, despite loud opposition by citizens of all stripes. Just yesterday, tens of thousands of average Americans made House Calls at Congressional offices around the country and at a huge demonstration on Capitol Hill, telling Congress: "Hands Off My Health Care!"
But Nancy Pelosi's response was not to slow down and listen to the public. Instead she is attempting to push her Washington takeover of health care through even more quickly. She scheduled the vote for tomorrow, Saturday, and is now frantically trying to twist arms and add special-interest provisions to get the votes to sneak it through, even though that breaks the clear promise she made to the American people to post the full bill online for 72 hours before holding a vote.
The same government that has made a farce of allocating swine flu vaccine, putting Guantanamo detainees and Wall Street executives ahead of most Americans, wants to get in between patients and doctors. We can't let this happen!
Please call your Congressman today and tell them to vote no on H.R. 3972, the government takeover bill being brought before the House of Representatives this weekend. Speaker Pelosi needs to know she cannot continue to ignore us and push through this radical health care takeover. Meanwhile, the Senate is being even more secretive. Leader Reid is finishing week three of his closed-door backroom bill writing session and making sure the American public is kept in the dark.
Because health care is so personal and a Washington takeover of one sixth of our economy will have dire consequences on our daily lives, we thought it would be good to highlight just how outrageous this whole closed-door process has been. Follow this link to check out our recent online video.
And please help us spread the word by sending our petition to five friends. Americans have a right to know what's being proposed for the future of our health care. Our health is too important to put in the hands of politicians and bureaucrats.
Sincerely,
Patients First Team
