Dear NAME,

As a registered nurse, I am deeply concerned about the fact that the U.S. spends more than $7,500 per person for healthcare, more than twice that of any other country, yet ranks 37th in the world in the health of its people. Universal access to healthcare is as essential to our nation’s future as public education or national defense.

As your constituent, I am asking you to co-sponsor and vote for HR676, the National Health Insurance Plan. If enacted, this plan will provide guaranteed, comprehensive, and affordable health care to everyone, regardless of income or employment status.

Your Name, RN
