Make the call: Get it done.

On Saturday, November 7, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 3962, legislation introduced that takes great strides towards providing quality, affordable health care for all Americans.

The House legislation:

✔

Improves Your Current Coverage.

H.R. 3962 will end insurance company abuse by not letting them deny coverage because of pre-existing conditions or cancel coverage and raise premiums because you get sick.

✔

Expands Choices With a Strong Public Option.

The bill includes a public health insurance option to offer more choices to working families, lower costs for all and keep insurance companies honest through competition.

✔

Makes Health Care Affordable.

H.R. 3962 includes affordability credits and out-of-pocket spending caps to make health care more affordable for everyone.

✔

Requires Shared Responsibility.

The bill makes sure employers pay their fair share by either providing health care for employees or paying into a common fund so responsible employers don’t have to pick up the tab for freeloaders.

✔

No New Taxes on Working Families.

H.R. 3962 does not hurt working families by taxing middle-class health benefits.
