TOMORROW: House Vote on Health Care!

We're here in Toronto for the Union for Reform Judaism's 70th Biennial Convention, where, on Wednesday, the URJ's Board of Trustees voted unanimously to support the Affordable Health Care for America Act. Read our full statement here.

Tomorrow morning, the House of Representatives will convene a special Saturday session to vote on its version of the Affordable Health Care for America Act. This legislation would expand coverage to 96% of Americans, contains a "public option," expands Medicaid, includes subsidies to ensure that low-income Americans can afford coverage, and is projected to reduced budget deficits by $104 billion over 10 years.

Urge your Representative to vote tomorrow to support the Affordable Health Care for America Act. The Capitol Switchboard can be reached at 202.224.3121, or you can send a quick, prewritten email. You can also sign our petition to Congress at JewsForHealthCareReform.org.

Now is the time for Congress to enact affordable, accessible health care for all. Let's help make it happen.
