Keep Up the Pressure

The importance of keeping pressure on Congress to enact real health care reform.

The pressure from the American public may sway the debate over health care reform taking place in Congress right now. According to the latest New York Times/CBS poll, Americans strongly support a government run public health insurance plan, which is the most critical piece of the health care debate and the key to whether legislation can be considered real reform or not.

The poll found that most Americans would be willing to pay higher taxes so everyone could have health insurance and that they said the government could do a better job of holding down health-care costs than the private sector.

We have to keep up the momentum. Congress should feel the pressure this Thursday June 25th when thousands of health care reform supporters travel from across the country for a national rally and lobby day hosted by Health Care for America NOW: Health Care Can’t Wait ‘09!

Campus Progress is ensuring that young people have a voice in health care reform and we will be out in full force for the rally. Join us and young progressives in support of health care reform – Come to the Rally!
