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.

With the economy in crisis and the cost of health insurance skyrocketing, families are struggling to make ends meet. Our representatives in Washington made us proud this week by voting to expand Medicaid coverage to hundreds of thousands of children. With champions like our own Senator's Reed and Whitehouse, hope runs high that the Senate will act soon too so more hard-working families have the peace of mind that their kids can stay healthy. Taking care of our children is the first step towards true health care reform that guarantees all Americans have access to quality, affordable health care.
Expanding the children's health insurance program will demonstrate that the era of deadlock in Washington is over and Congress is ready to make comprehensive health care reform a reality.
