State House single payer bill gathers cosponsors

From Chuck Pennachio, Exec Director of www.helpfundpa.org

Yes, folks, we have a House bill version of the "Family and Business Healthcare Security Act" on the way to introduction. Thanks to the courage and vision of Rep. Kathy Mandarino (D, Phila), her circulation memo encouraging colleagues to co-sponsor FaBHCA is making the rounds as of this morning. That means we have approximately one week to lobby the State House to get as many co-sponsors as possible on the bill before its formal introduction. So get those phone calls and e-mails off to your representatives right away!

Click on the following for resources to locate and contact those House members already committed to the "Family and Business Healthcare Security Act." But please reach out to ALL members. Additionally, the Capitol Hill switchboard number is 717.787.2121. For name and local contact info. go to www.congress.org and to state legislators; put in your zip code.

Working together we are saving our economy, liberating all our citizens from healthcare insecurity, and restoring sanity to a medical delivery system that is broken. Virtually all economists now agree that the only means to achieving all of the above is through legislation like our universal single-payer bill. See you on the campaign trail!

Yours in unity,

Chuck
