What can we do about the push for government mandated and controlled healthcare?

What can we do about the push for government mandated and controlled healthcare?

Learn: There are great materials currently available and sent out periodically. There are a number of national organizations who do research on this issue and analyze the federal legislation. Some have emails you can subscribe to. Here are a few:

Share: Explain the issue to others you know who don't understand why government healthcare is a bad idea. Pass on the information that you find helpful to others so that they can learn and take action as well. You can also write letters to the editor to your local newspaper. This can be extremely effective as many people will see your arguments and may also consider the dangers.

Notify: Tell your legislators that you don't support this push to place healthcare under the control of the government. Write or call your legislators and encourage others to do the same. Ask them to support H.R. 2629 the "Coercion is Not Health Care Act" and to oppose any legislation that would mandate health insurance in any way. If they area already in agreement with you, thank them. If not, ask them to please consider changing their position.
