Dear Supporter,

Last week the House of Representatives introduced historic legislation, HR 3200, that takes one giant step toward guaranteed, high quality, affordable health care for all! Read NPA's synopsis of HR 3200 here:

Yet, passage of this bill is not assured. Your U.S. Congressional Representative needs to hear from you!

Join the National Physician / Provider Call-in Day to Congress this Wednesday!

On the Senate side, the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee has put out a strong health care reform bill but, the Senate Finance Committee continues to delay. Our patients can't wait any longer for the Senate to act. Your Senators need to hear from you!

Join the National Physician / Provider Call-in Day to Congress this Wednesday!

On Wednesday, July 22, 2009, doctors and nurses from all over the country will be calling their Senators and Representatives to express their support for health care reform. It is easy to make these calls and will take about 15 min to call both of your Senators and your Congressional Representative.
 
Here is how you can participate:
 
  1. Call: 877-264-4226
  2. Once connected, you will press 1 to be connected to your Senators or 2 to be connected to your Representative.   Then you will be asked for your 5 digit zip code.  In the case of the Senators, you will pick which one you want to be connected to.  It does require that we make three phone calls in order to leave a message with each office. (This also enables the calls to be counted)  It should not take more than 15 min total. If you get voice mail, leave a message - your opinion will be counted.
 
Here is a sample script:

"I am a physician and constituent of Senator/Rep XX. I want the Senator/Rep to know that comprehensive health care reform will make it easier for me to take care of my patients and that my patients need this reform urgently.

[For Reps:] I urge Rep X to support HR3200
 
[For Senators:] Please keep the momentum going. Delay can be deadly for this critical legislation.

[For All:] I also want to voice my support for a strong public health insurance option in this year's historic health reform.
