Sample text below. Please feel free to modify:
Dear ____________[Your U.S. Representative]
Please support H.R. 6270, the State-Based Universal Health Care Act, introduced by Rep. Ro Khanna of California. This bill helps states test universal health plans that could be a model for a national plan - a Universal, Simple, and Affordable (USA) plan.
How H.R. 6270 moves us toward health care that is universal, simple, and affordable (USA):
Mandates that participating states guarantee healthcare coverage for at least 95% of residents in the first 5 years, thus reducing the uninsured and underinsured populations to less than 5% (currently 30% in most states).
Requires any state-based plan to have benefits equal to or greater than those received by beneficiaries of federal healthcare programs.
Allows states to cooperate on multi-state plans. Section 1332 of the ACA does not.
Enables states to integrate Medicare funds into a state plan. Section 1332 does not. This is critically important for equity.
