SEIU is asking Americans to call Congress today to ask for healthcare reform that works. They have a tollfree number set up that gives some talking points and automatically connects people to their representatives. The number is 1-800-603-SEIU. Here is the text from the leaflet for today’s action. Feel free to leave a comment to say how the call went.

If It’s Not Affordable,
Healthcare ISN’T Fixed
Congress is making major decisions on
President Obama’s proposal to bring
down the cost of healthcare for
working families.
But some special interests want to block
reforms that will drive down costs—
leaving millions of workers unsure if
they can keep up with exploding
healthcare costs.
Make sure the people who
represent you in Washington,
D.C., know that if healthcare isn’t
affordable for ordinary working
people, the healthcare system
isn’t working.
How to Speak Out
1. Call your Senators and Representative at 1-800-603-SEIU (7348).
2. Do you know a family member or neighbor who has struggled to
get quality, affordable healthcare? Tell their story. Or, talk about
concerns you have about the rising cost of healthcare.
3. Explain that healthcare won’t be fixed until it’s affordable for
every worker in our community.!
