Subject: Congress is threatening your healthcare - here's what to do

We have an important alert for you today concerning your

healthcare, and what Congress may be doing right now to

dismantle critical healthcare protections. Thank you for

receiving Health Alerts from Care2 and ThePetitionSite,

and please take a moment to protect your healthcare today!

Congress is trying to create a " new " kind of federal

health insurance called Association Health Plans - AHPs

for short. But AHPs are really healthcare that hurts. AHPs

mean no protection, no guarantee and no limits on price.

They will be exempt from health and consumer protection

laws you have in your state. Please ask Congress to oppose

federal AHP legislation today:

We need to do something about healthcare, but AHPs will

make things worse:

** They could raise your rates, as much as and as often

as they want. You could face frequent rate hikes because

you get sick and file a claim.

** They may take away your right to appeal. Right now, in

most states, you have the right to appeal if health

insurers refuse to pay your bill, but you won't with AHPs.

** They may not be there to pay your claims. You could get

stuck with the bills, because AHPs won't have to keep

enough money in the bank to cover your medical expenses.

You can help stop AHPs today.

Please sign this petition to urge Congress to oppose

federal AHP legislation, and to protect your healthcare:

Thank you for acting today!
