As politicians fret about the political risks of health care reform instead of fixing our broken system, people are dying.
And last week, that reality hit home. Melanie Shouse, a MoveOn Council leader in St. Louis, passed away from breast cancer while still fighting her insurance company for chemotherapy coverage.
There is a serious cost to inaction on health care—real people's lives. And it's time to remind Washington of this.
Can you send a message to Congress today? Tell them you're standing with Melanie: it's time for Washington to put real people ahead of political calculations.
A compilation of your message and thousands of others will be delivered to Congress.
"I stand with Melanie. It's time to put real people ahead of politics. Pass comprehensive health care reform now."
