Reform needs your help or it'll die

[Abe Young]

Primary Health Care Supporters!
Please take a minute now to go to http://www.capwiz.com/aafp/issues/alert/?alertid=14655066&type=CO to read and send the letter to your Congressperson & Senators.  (I literally mean it will take you no more than 60sec b/c of their easy automated system)

And then please pass on the word to all the people you know in healthcare, or who receive healthcare (who doesn't?), that we need them to immediately join in the effort to achieve this crucial health system reform.

Lastly, if you haven't checked this out... on the ground w/ suffering America: Ed Schultz reporting from a temporary free clinic... http://downstatecafe.blogspot.com/          
Finally, someone who voices the raw anger and frustration at where the hell this political football has been kicked...          
Finally, a piece of media that spotlights the real stories concerning the urgency of Health System Reform, stories that have been missing from the terrible, endless Washington debates...

Dear Abraham, As I mentioned earlier this week, the fate of comprehensive health care reform legislation is uncertain. The Academy has drafted a letter emphasizing the importance of carrying this important cause across the finish line and we'd like you to sign on and show your support. It's as easy as entering your name and address. Tell your members of Congress that family physicians support the reform that the American health care system needs. Academy President Lori Heim will be in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday to meet with key legislators and encourage them to get reform back on track. By sending this letter, you will help Dr. Heim make our case in Washington. Now more than ever, we need to stand together for reform that addresses key primary care provisions and improves the lives of our patients. Thank you for your support. Kevin Kevin Burke Director, Government Relations American Academy of Family Physicians
