FOR OUR FRIENDS OF AMERICA
Letter
of the president Barack Obama
The chance to finally
reform our nation's health care system is here. While Congress moves rapidly to
produce a detailed plan, I have made it clear that real reform must uphold
three core principles -- it must reduce costs, guarantee choice, and ensure
quality care for every American.
As
we know, challenging the status quo will not be easy. Its defenders will claim
our goals are too big, that we should once again settle for half measures and
empty talk. Left unanswered, these voices of doubt might yet again derail the
comprehensive reform we so badly need. That's where you come in.
When
our opponents spread fear and confusion about the changes we seek, your support
for these core principles will show clarity and resolve. When the lobbyists for
the status quo tell Congress to hold back, your personal story will give them
the courage to press forward.
Join
my call : Ask Congress to pass real health care
reform in 2009.

know personal stories can drive that change, because I know how my mother's
experience continues to drive me. She passed away from ovarian cancer a little
over a decade ago. And in the last weeks of her life, when she was coming to
grips with her own mortality and showing extraordinary courage just to get
through each day, she was spending too much time worrying about whether her
health insurance would cover her bills. She deserved better. Every American
deserves better. And that's why I will not rest until the dream of health care
reform is finally achieved in the
