Action Alert: Tell Congress and President Obama to Include LGBT, HIV/AIDS Provisions, and a Public Option in the re-worked Health Insurance Reform Bill -by Tommy News, Citizen Journalist President Obama opened a bipartisan conference on health-care reform on February 25th, in a last-ditch effort to secure a compromise bill, urging lawmakers on both sides of the issue to focus on areas of agreement. The version of the bill passed by the House of Representatives in December included provisions for LGBT health care reform introduced by Representative Tammy Baldwin, however, the Senate version made no provisions for LGBT health care reform whatsoever. The new version presented by President Obama also includes no LGBT provisions, and no public option. As the bill is now being re-worked and reconciled, I urge you to call, fax, email, send web forms and postal mail to President Obama, US Senators, and Members of the House urging them to include LGBT and HIV/AIDS health care provisions as well as a public option in the revised Health Insurance Reform Bill. Tell them to look at the Health Care System in Canada as a model for the public option. Please take action and pass this message on to everyone in your address book.
