HEALTH CARE FOR AMERICA NOW!
In March, Congress finished their work on the historic health care reform bill. Thanks to the tireless work of CPA's members and other countless ordinary people across the United States, Congress has enacted the biggest piece of social legislation since the Civil Rights Act in 1965. Together we made over 15,000 phone calls to Members of Congress and President Obama, hosted 166 successful events, and had 188 meetings with Members of Congress and Congressional staff. Because of the work of so many dedicated activists, 31 million people who are currently uninsured will have access to coverage and health care. Not only does this piece of legislation extend coverage to millions of people, it also prohibits insurance companies from denying people with pre-existing conditions, stops the practice of recission and bans the practice of lifetime caps. In short, this bill is a first and important step towards the kind of health care system we all want for this country.
