Send a Note to Your US Congressional Representative & Senator About SBUHCA

Urge Congress to pass SBUHCA and Lansing to pass the MiCARE Act so Michigan can run one statewide plan that covers everyone with no premiums, copays, or deductibles.

Your voice matters. Michigan’s Congressional Representative and Senators need to hear directly from us that single-payer healthcare is not just popular—it’s necessary. By taking a few minutes to send a letter, you can help push forward legislation like the State Based Universal Health Care Act (SBUHCA) and Medicare for All in Congress.

These bills would:

  • Guarantee comprehensive care for everyone, with no premiums, copays, or deductibles
  • Cover primary care, vision, dental, mental health, reproductive health, and more
  • Reduce prescription drug costs and end surprise billing
  • Empower states like Michigan to implement strong, statewide plans such as MiCARE

When Congressional Representative and Senators hear from their constituents, they take notice. Adding your name today helps show growing momentum for real reform.

Dear (elected representative name here),

I am writing to you today to ask for your support for State Based Universal Health Care Act (SBUHCA) and Medicare for All. Healthcare in the USA and Michigan costs too much and provides too little coverage. I have come to beieve that this situation is due to the financial complexity, adminstrative complexity and the profiteering created by the commercial insurance takeover of American healthcare. 

Costs are out of control and over half of Americans are now skipping care due to costs and other system based barriers to care. Our pay is shrinking as more and more goes to health insurance coverage. Loss of a job means loss of your healthcare. Serious illness now includes the risk of personal bankruptcy due skimpy coverage with ever increasing copays and deductibles. Doctors and nurses are being demoralized by the waste of their time trying to get care preauthorized and by the costs and complexity of the billing a multitutde of insurers all with their own billing processes. Patients are getting less time and less attention than the computerized record documentation needed to bill. There is less and less choice of physician or hospital due to network restrictions that often result in surprise bills. The more market forces have been brought to bear the worse the healthcare system has performed. Despite spending twice what other rich nations per person, our outcomes are worse than countries who cover everyone with greater simplicity and half the cost.

(Personal story here if you wish. The personal story should relate to the problems noted above.)

What we need is U.S.A. healthcare: Universal, Simple and Affordable.

There should be one universal and simple set of billing rules for the hospitals and doctors with everybody in and nobody out. Multiple studies by health economists and the CBO have shown that this simplicity will save as much as 10-15% of our healthcare dollars now wasted on adminstrative complexity and profiteering. The money saved is enough to provide everyone affordable comprehensive coverage, eliminate copays and deductibles, allow complete choice of doctor and hospital, keep research and technology advances fully funded and still save tens of millions annually at the state level and tens of billions nationally. 

I am appealing to you to study our possible solutions and support legislation to cure our healthcare woes here in Michigan and nationally. I am trusting you as my representative to inform yourself about the solutions offered by legislative action and to support this legislation as my representative. My vote will depend on it.

Sincerely,

(Name and address)
