Bridging the Gap for Health Care

Mark your calendars now: next SATURDAY, JUNE 19TH, tens of thousands of people--those who have health insurance and those who don't, those who fear losing coverage and those who have too little--will join together across the country to bridge the gap in health care.

I find it ironic and maddening that most states in this country have compulsory auto insurance and yet there is NO PLACE in the United States where health insurance is compulsory for everyone!! Our cars are more protected than our own health!



Click on the image above to learn why your participation in this movement is so important.

In the last 60 seconds, 5 people lost their health care coverage.

By this time tomorrow, 7,000 more will lose theirs.

8 out of 10 of the 44 million people who lack health insurance come from WORKING FAMILIES.

It's a national problem. We need a national solution. It's going to take a national action to help achieve it.
