The 99% need their Health Care Reform

Emotions are running high down in Zuccotti Park. Occupy Wall Street has unified people around the need for change in our society. Protesters are sick of not being able to find a job, not being able to afford a home, not being able to stay healthy. Check out the clip below of some interviews with protesters at Occupy Wall Street.

This is what health care reform is going to change. Quality, affordable health care is within grasp. Look at the gains we have already achieved! Children can’t be denied insurance due to a pre-existing condition. Young adults under 26 can stay on their parents’ insurance. Starting in August 2012, women on new insurance plans will have access to contraception with no additional cost.

How’s that for better healthcare? We need to be excited about how health care reform is playing out, and we need to protect it so we can secure the health we will get once our health care law in fully implemented.

Visit RaisingWomensVoices.net and become educated about how health care reform has already worked for you. Learn about how you can protect reform that comes under fire everyday. Demand that what you helped pass back in 2010 is not stopped by those who don’t understand. This isn’t something that can be ignored. Just ask the Occupiers; let them tell you their stories. You’ll be amazed at how needed these changes are.
