Faustina --

Last night, thanks in large part to the dedication of You’re the Cure advocates, the United States House of Representatives passed a package of health care bills, including one that would block low-quality health care plans that put our health at risk from being sold across the country.

The package of bills that passed last night, known as HR 987, included a number of provisions that would help strengthen the ACA and protect people with pre-existing conditions.

Thank you for contacting your Representative in support of this package of bills.

Your efforts made a BIG difference in the House of Representatives, but our work is not done, and the package of bills still needs to pass the Senate before it has a chance to become law. Millions of Americans are still at risk from being victimized by low-quality health care coverage, but this was a great first step. We expect the Senate will soon introduce similar legislation with the goal of expanding access to quality and affordable health care and limiting access to low-quality, dangerous coverage.

When the Senate introduces their legislation, it will be even more important than ever that our lawmakers hear from us. The House listened to our calls for action and it’s up to us to make sure the Senate does the same. In the coming weeks, please be on the look-out for ways to help expand access to quality health care, but for now take a second to celebrate this great victory for public health!

Thank you for all that you do and talk soon!
