Pledge to Fight for Health Care Reform That Meets the Needs of Women & Their Families

Too many women struggle to get the health care they need. The consequences of our broken health care system can greatly damage women’s health, work, and financial well-being.

Take the pledge to fight for health care reform that meets the needs of women and their families.

• I pledge to speak up for health care that is:
  
• Affordable: Health care costs should be limited by a family’s ability to pay so that women and their families can get the care they need.
  
• Comprehensive: Health care reform should ensure comprehensive coverage of health care services that people need both to stay healthy and to be treated when they are ill, all throughout their lives.
  
• Fair: Any plan for health reform should ensure that health insurance companies treat people fairly, by ending discriminatory practices that improperly deny or overcharge for coverage based on a person’s health history, age, or gender. We should have a real choice; keep the insurance you have if you like it, or choose between a private and public health insurance plan.
  
• Equitable: Health care reform must ensure there are no gaps in access to care, and work to eliminate disparities in health care access that currently exist.

• I pledge to speak up for women and their families who need meaningful health care reform this year.

• I pledge to tell five people about the Reform Matters project.
