Join Us in Saying, "We Want a Health Care
Bill of
Rights!" |
Dear Jaime,
We need your
help. A bill, LD
1205, sponsored by Representative Sharon
Treat is coming up for public
hearing April 13th at
1:00 PM at the Business,
Research, & Economic Development
Committee Room 208 in the Cross Office
Building.
We'd like you to join
us and tell your health care story at the hearing
to show why this "Health Care Bill of
Rights" is needed.
The bill calls for insurers
to give us more information so that we can
make better choices for ourselves and
our families.
- Have you wanted to
compare which insurance plan would be best
for you, but couldn't get the
information from the insurance companies to
do so?
- Have you thought that
something was covered, and
then gotten a bill after the fact
because it wasn't actually covered in your
plan?
- Do you have a hard time
understanding the information you get from your
insurance company?
- Have your insurance
costs gone through the roof ,
but you can't get an explanation
why or an opportunity to do anything
about it ?
- Have you wondered how much of
your premium goes toward actual medical
care?
If you answered "yes" to
any of these, come out to support LD
1205. This bill asks insurance
companies to address these questions and
more.
