From the inbox: Health Education Update

Dear Friends,Thank you very much for your leadership in fighting to maintain astrong healthcare system in New York.

Here in the Bronx together we have been able to keep our neighbors,organizations, and state representatives informed about our concernsand the need for everyone, including those who are best prepared tocontribute, about our proposal for shared sacrifices during these hardeconomic times; fair share reform.

We are deeply concerned that today, March 10, 2009 the Senate may be deciding to restore very little of the Governor’s proposed cuts to health care services. Your active outreach today to your Senator is critical.

Get connected to your senator in three easy steps by going to www.fairsharereform.com/senatebill.

Or

Call your State Senator Today and let them know that in times likethis all New Yorkers must be asked to pay their fair share.

• I am deeply concerned that the Senate may be considering goingalong with much of Governor Paterson’s dangerous cuts to quality carein New York. The senate cannot pass a one house bill withoutincreasing revenue.

• It is vital to my community that the Senate fully restores theMedicaid cuts to health care providers in New York. And use thefederal assistance available to New York State over the next twoyears. There is no excuse for allowing cuts to go through that willhurt patients and threaten care.

It is vitally important for our families and communities that we betimely and let our voices be heard now. Thank you again for your leadership.

Sincerely,
Jose Candelario
