End Unjust, Sky-high Premium Increases #p2 #hcr

Now that we’ve won health care reform, it’s up to us to make sure the law hold the insurance industry accountable and fulfills its historic promise of health security for all.

Thanks to the new law insurance companies will have to spend more of our premiums on health care instead of soaring profits and executive pay, and they’ll have to defend their outrageous rate increases. States will get the resources they need to regulate insurance companies, and insurers that violate the rules will be punished.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is asking for comments from the public on how to move forward on regulating health insurance premium increases. Click here to submit your comment.

The insurance companies and other opponents of reform are trying to weaken and repeal health care reform.²  They’ll do whatever it takes to game the system and gut the law so it works for them, not us.³ We cannot let this happen.

Click here and tell HHS that you support tough rules to stop insurance companies from ripping off Americans who depend on their products as a matter of life and death.

We fought hard to win this landmark legislation.  This is our law.  This is our opportunity to shape the future of health care reform and break the insurance companies’ stranglehold on our health care.  As consumers we must have a strong voice in the process.

We will deliver your comments along with thousands of others to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in the next few weeks as we work together to make health care reform a reality.

In Solidarity,
