The lesson from the Massachusetts election is not that Congress should “scale back”! The lesson is: we want the change we voted for! We want Congress to stand up to corporate interests and fight for the rest of us—starting with passing a strong health care reform bill, fighting for working people, and taking on Wall Street. Congress has the ability to pass real reform and that's what we are demanding. Millions of Americans still lack affordable, quality health care and Democrats need to keep fighting for them, not scale back.

A message from Chris Lindberg, UNHC President:

Rachel Degolia from UHCAN (United Health Care Action Network) wrote the following in an email received today. Please read it and take it to heart:

Re: Staying Together in the Fight

There is intense debate among health care justice leaders on both the inside and outside of the legislative process as the national health care fight continues its agonizing twists and turns.

Staying together and building unity in this kind of situation is very difficult, but incredibly important.

Different groups may come out of this fight having taken different positions at different points along the way. However, we all know that after this round, the fight will be far from over. Our opponents are hoping we'll splinter, weaken and/or walk away.

So, UHCAN urges folks to consider how to make space for different interpretations of the outcomes of the current health care fight, and to work in ways that does not undercut our ability to continue to work together for the next stage of the fight.
