Thanks to Specter
|
Thanks in part to your emails and phone calls, Senator Arlen Specter is one of three Republicans to support President Obama’s the Economic Recovery Program. But you can help make it a better program by contacting Senator Specter today to ask him to work to expand Medicaid funding in the final bill. The Senate version of the program provides money to help people like the Gibbs family, portrayed in this video, continue to receive COBRA health care benefits after they are laid off from work. But the Senate cut funding that would expand eligibility for Medicaid for unemployed workers not eligible for insurance under COBRA. Specter will continue to play a critical role in consideration of the Economic Recovery So please, contact Senator Specter’s office today. The Economic Recovery program is not the health care reform we need. But it provides an opportunity to provide insurance coverage for hundreds of thousands of unemployed workers while building momentum for quality affordable health care for all. Please contact Senator Specter today. And forward this message to your friends. Just click “Participate” to get started. |
