Tell Congress: Protect Consumers and Hold the Big Wall Street Banks Accountable!
Call Senator Jack Reed Toll Free TODAY at 1-866-544-7573.
Tell Senator Reed to support financial reform that holds big Wall Street Banks accountable.
Historic health reform has passed! The bill is a victory for the American people:
- Insurance companies can no longer deny care for pre-existing conditions, charge you more if you’re sick, cap your benefits, sell you junk insurance, or raise rates with impunity.
- For the first time, Members of Congress will get their health insurance from the same system regular Americans do.
- Small business and working families will security and stability knowing they can afford good health insurance that meets their needs.
- 32 million uninsured Americans will get affordable coverage, saving over 30,000 lives per year.

On Sunday, September 14th, a diverse group of women gathered to have a conversation about the future of health care in Rhode Island and the country and to learn more about how we can work together to achieve access to quality, affordable health care for all.
The house party conversation was facilitated by Dr. Dannie Ritchie, Clinical Assistant Professor, Family Medicine for Brown University Center for Primary Care and Prevention and the Director of the Transcultural Community Health Initiative.
Sunday's party was organized specifically as a way to bring women together to talk about health care, but we are working to engage both women and men all over the state for future house parties to build our movement.
If you are interested in hosting your own Health Care for America Now house party or attending one in your part of the state -
