[PAA-Discuss] Sickening

[Juli3 at aol.com]

Wow! In the past week, thousands of activists across the country have  
contacted their insurance companies to demand that they stop denying  care and 
stop using our premiums to lobby against health insurance  reform.  
Here at Working America, we recently participated in a national day  of 
action: "Big Insurance: Sick of It." How sick of it? In just 10 days,  we 
collected 12,000 signatures on bandage petitions letting lawmakers  and insurance 
companies know working people will not settle for bandage  solutions to the 
health care crisis. It's sickening that meanwhile,  insurance companies are 
fighting health care reform with money they get  from OUR insurance 
premiums.  
We want real health insurance reform, including a strong  public option, 
and it's time insurance companies got out of the  way. _Join us. Tell your  
insurance company that you are sick of it._

Are you sick of insurance companies being able to deny coverage  or raise 
rates for individuals or businesses based on pre-existing  medical 
conditions?  
Are you sick of insurance companies being able to come between  doctors and 
patients when it comes to deciding what care patients  need?  
Are you sick of insurance companies being able to provide  incentives to 
their employees who deny care and reject claims?  
We’re sick of it, and today thousands of people across the  country are 
taking to the streets at more than 100 events to  demand that insurance 
companies stop denying our care and stop  using our premiums to lobby against 
health insurance reform. Join  the thousands of activists and help take the fight 
directly  to the insurance companies.   
_We want real  health insurance reform, and we’re sick of insurance 
companies  getting in the way._ (http://www.unionvoice.org/ct/R7LezjE1TQqd/)    
For years, insurance companies have expanded their stranglehold  over 
health care in this country. They make record profits. They  make life-and-death 
decisions. And they’re spending millions of  dollars on campaign 
contributions and lobbyists to defeat  reform—$1.4 million per day.  
That’s your money they’re spending to defeat health care reform  and the 
choice of a public health insurance option. _Tell them you  are sick of it! _

Thank you for fighting back against the insurance industry.
