Let Governor Strickland Know We Stand Behind Him On Health Care Reform

This week, leaders of both the U.S. House and Senate have stood up for all Americans by committing to passing health care reform with a public option.

Here in the Buckeye state, Governor Ted Strickland has stood up for Ohioans by expressing his support for the public option.

But now, Ohio’s Republican leaders are suggesting they’ll soon launch a campaign to keep the public option out of the reach of Ohioans - denying us the right to decide for ourselves about this crucial health care decision for our families.

Can you call Ohio House Minority Leader Bill Batchelder (R-Medina) and tell him you stand with Governor Strickland in his support for the public option?

Call Rep. Batchelder’s office at (614) 466-8140.

Some facts to mention during your call:
  • In Ohio, average family health insurance premiums have gone up 92% since 2000 while wages have stagnated.
  • Nearly 400 Ohioans lose their health insurance each day
  • 11% of Ohioans are uninsured - 64 % of them are in families with at least one full-time worker.
  • 69% of Ohioans support the public option.
Just as important -- please sign the petition below so Governor Strickland knows we stand with him on bringing quality, affordable health care to all Ohioans!
