The NHS may not be perfect, but it is worth standing up for. Add your name and share your stories to give Americans the facts as they consider healthcare proposals.

Right there's a fierce debate in the US about Barack Obama's proposals for public healthcare, and our NHS has become a political football. Opponents, including some British conservatives, are attacking the NHS for political purposes.

We've made it easier to tell ordinary Americans the truth about NHS, by teaming up with a leading American web site. By adding your name to our message, and sharing your stories our how the NHS has benefited you or your family, you can help Americans consider their own healthcare choices with facts not fiction about our system.

Mother Jones is a US web site and magazine which reaches over 2 million Americans every week. They want to cover our perspective on the NHS. As editor Jay Harris says: "Right now, the media coverage about the future of my country’s healthcare system is filled with distortions and lies about the NHS. Ordinary British people can help bring sanity – and facts - back into this debate by stepping up to set the record straight. Please help!”
