Tell Congress to Stop Hurting Your Healthcare

GOAL: 45,000

DEADLINE: Ongoing ...


Congress is trying to create a "new" kind of federal health insurance called Association Health Plans – AHPs for short. But AHPs are really healthcare that hurts. AHPs mean no protection, no guarantee and no limits on price. They will be exempt from health and consumer protection laws you have in your state. We need to do something about healthcare, but AHPs will make things worse.

They will be able to raise your rates, as much as and as often as they want. You could face frequent rate hikes because you get sick and file a claim.

They will take away your right to appeal. Right now, in most states, you have the right to appeal if health insurers refuse to pay your bill, but you won't with AHPs.

They may not be there to pay your claims. You could get stuck with the bills, because AHPs won't have to keep enough money in the bank to cover your medical expenses.

Only you can stop them. Protect Your Healthcare, a broad alliance that includes the American Federation of Teachers, the AFL-CIO, the American Nurses Association and the National Partnership for Women and Families, is committed to fighting AHPs.

Sign our petition and help us stop Congress from creating AHPs – healthcare that hurts. ..... See full petition below

2. unregulated insurance

These people really have lost their minds. It's hard enough to get assistance through the state insurance commission as it is, but it's a damned sight better than not having it at all. Unbelievable. Yep, I'll trust the insurance company to do right by me, don't need none of them pesky regulations.

3. Nothing from nothing is nothing.

You have to HAVE insurance first. Work for universal health care.
