The Affordable Health Care for America Act will make health care more affordable for consumers, hold insurance companies accountable and increase access to health care for millions of Americans.

USAction today called on the House to approve the measure and not pass up the best opportunity in 100 years to pass comprehensive reform that guarantees quality, affordable health care for millions of Americans.

“If the House votes yes, Americans will be one step closer to having more affordable health coverage with good, comprehensive benefits and true choice and competition in the health insurance marketplace,” said USAction Program Director Alan Charney. “We must not pass up this opportunity.”

The House bill, in particular, makes health care much more affordable, ends egregious insurance industry abuse, and injects real choice and competition with the inclusion of a national public health insurance option.  It also draws revenue from fair financing as opposed to taxation of middle-income Americans’ health care plans. Finally, it includes shared responsibility between individuals, employers and government.

On Saturday evening, the House of Representative will choose whether to stick with the status quo or take another step towards enacting quality, affordable for all.
