We’re this close.
As the battle for healthcare reform enters the homestretch, leaders in Congress are frantically counting votes as they try to pass a strong public option. Less than a dozen votes in the House and Senate are all that stand in the way of real healthcare reform.
Every Member of Congress faces a historic choice: side with the insurance lobbyists who don’t want to compete with an affordable public healthcare plan, or side with the millions of Americans who can’t afford healthcare in today’s broken system.
It’s up to us to make sure New York’s representatives in Congress vote the right way.
Tell your Member of Congress to take a stand for the public option:

This summer, over ten thousand Working Families Party supporters called on a handful of New York Democrats to stop blocking progress on Obama’s healthcare reform.
Now, we’re closer than ever to finally achieving a fair, sensible healthcare system that gives every American access to quality, affordable care. We can’t miss this opportunity — it could be a generation before we get another shot at fundamental reform.
A strong public option is the best way to lower all our healthcare costs, break up the health insurance monopolies, and make sure everyone can get care.
What happens in the battle for healthcare reform will shape American politics, and Obama’s presidency, for years to come. And the fight could be won or lost this week.
We don’t have a second to lose — Tell Sens. Schumer and Gillibrand and your member of Congress to stand up for a strong public option and real reform:
