Urgent Action Required:

WRITE your two U.S. Senators to oppose a public plan health insurance proposal and the exclusion of professional, licensed agents.

Reason Action Is Urgently Needed: The Senate HELP Committee has under consideration this week a public plan health insurance reform proposal that is a major step toward single-pay, government-run health insurance. The proposal also eliminates the role for licensed professional insurance agents and requires employers to pay 60% of employee health insurance premiums or pay an annual assessment of $750 for each full-time employee not covered and $375 for each part-time employee not covered.

Your immediate response to this threat is urgently needed, right now.
