Congress is threatening your healthcare - here's what to do

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

 

We have an important alert for you today concerning your healthcare, and what

Congress may be doing right now to dismantle critical healthcare protections.

Thank you for receiving Health Alerts from Care2 and ThePetitionSite, and please

take a moment to protect your healthcare today!

 

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.

Please ask Congress to oppose federal AHP legislation today:

We need to do something about healthcare, but AHPs will make things worse:

They could 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 may 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.

You can help stop AHPs today.

 

Please sign this petition to urge Congress to oppose federal AHP legislation,

and to protect your healthcare: http://www.care2.com/go/z/17558

 

Thank you for acting today!
