Call Targets: Call the U.S. Senate and Urge a No Vote on ObamaCare
Suggested Talking Points
Oppose a government takeover of healthcare!
-No Government Plan: American's can't afford the trillions of dollars in new taxes that would be required to pay for Obamacare.
-No Individual Mandate: Forcing people to buy insurance and then fining them or even putting them in jail if they don't is wrong.
-No Tax Hikes: Tax increases to pay for a new government program will only slow economic recovery and keep unemployment high.
-A vote for cloture = a vote for government-run health care.

CPR - Conservatives For Patients' Rights
The Pillars of Health Care Reform
True health care reform centers on four "pillars" of Patients' Rights:
Choice: A patient must have the right to choose their own doctor, and must protect a consumer's right to choose the health insurance that best fits their needs and budget.
Competition: Leveling the playing field for doctors, insurers, and consumers will result in healthy competition that drives down costs and increases favorable outcomes. Providers should publicly post their prices so consumers can shop and compare. States should eliminate burdensome regulations so insurance companies can compete equally across state lines.
Accountability: Making health care services more accessible, transparent and open through standardized insurance claims forms and equal tax breaks for individuals and companies will control costs by helping consumers and businesses compare "apples to apples" across the health care spectrum.
Personal Responsibility: Placing responsibility squarely where it belongs, on the shoulders of the patient, will encourage individuals make to make healthy lifestyle choices. Infusing personal responsibility into health care reform allows us all to maintain our cherished freedom to live our lives without government intrusion.
