I just emailed DFA Members across Vermont to let them know about the health care vote today. The Senate has suspended the rules and will vote on the Health Care bill tonight. I don’t need to tell you how important it is that this bill passes.

This is a strong piece of legislation that will put us on the path to Green Mountain Care, but only if it passes without being watered down.

Please call and leave a message for your senator saying you support the Health Care bill and oppose all the amendments weakening it. You can leave a message with the Sargent at Arms, at 802-828-2228.

When you call, you can mention that Green Mountain Care will help our economy by making health coverage more affordable for everyone. It will ensure that medical decisions are made by patients and their doctors, not by insurance company administrators.

It is not only an economic imperative that this bill passes, it is a moral imperative — Green Mountain Care will provide health care for all Vermonters.

Leave a quick message with the Sergeant At Arms at 802-828-2228 to say that you support H.202 in its current form.
