URGENT - HEALTH CARE LEGISLATIVE ALERT!

URGENT - HEALTH CARE LEGISLATIVE ALERT:
Tomorrow HB 1184 will be considered on the floor of the Georgia House of Representatives. The measure was introduced by Rep. Matt Ramsey, (R-Peachtree City) and originally co-sponsored by Tom.  The measure proposes to expand free market principles on behalf of Georgia consumers by allowing health insurance products sold in other states to be sold across Georgia state lines. 
 
This is a critical measure that is supported and promoted by conservatives in Congress and in state legislatures around the country as a market driven alternative to health reform that empowers consumers.
 
Some highlights:
The measure stands in stark contrast to the health care reform approach that was approved in Congress on Sunday night that expands the role of government in the lives of families and small businesses more than any other piece of legislation in modern history.
The left wing special interests are working diligently to defeat the bill. Rather than allowing Georgians a range of options to find a plan that fits their individual needs-special interest groups are standing in between doctor and patient.  
The Democrats want to continue the imposition of a one-size-fits all insurance policy which has led to a stifled market place and over one million uninsured in Georgia.
Given the fact that our federal government has just passed a mandate that every American buy health insurance, whether they want to or not, the least we can do is open up the free market--and ensure Georgians the freedom to choose in health care.
 
We need your help!  The special interests are lobbying members of the House intensely and we need you to make sure the voices of conservatives are heard. 

Tom urges you to contact all members of the Georgia House of Representatives and urge their support of this important measure tomorrow.
