How Eric De La Cruz Is Saving Lives
Health care reform did not arrive in time to help Eric De La Cruz, who passed away on July 4, 2009 while awaiting a heart transplant delayed for years because of insurance denials. But today, thousands of supporters, led by his sister Veronica, are marching reform forward in his name.
Eric's courageous battle has inspired thousands - from social media junkies to rock bands like Nine Inch Nails to other sick patients - to get involved in the health care debate and help make sure Congress jumps through this rare opportunity to fix one of our nation's biggest problems: our broken health insurance system.

SIGN OUR PETITION FOR STRONG REFORM
We've already delivered it to Congress once and they listened. But let's keep adding to it! We MUST make sure every member of Congress knows where we stand on STRENGTHENING health care reform with a public option.
Sign the petition to ask to strengthen health care reform with a public option. It will take a few seconds, costs absolutely nothing and may just help get the vote needed to pass a bill that will save thousands of lives.
READ REAL-LIFE HEALTHCARE STORIES (AND SHARE YOURS)
It seems that everyone has a health insurance horror story. Read others' stories of how the U.S. health care system has let them down and share your experiences. Along with our petition, we will deliver these stories to our elected officials in Congress as we demand a change that makes affordable health care for all a reality.
Submit your story here!CALL YOUR CONGRESS NOW
Nothing is more powerful in Washington than a call or letter from a voter.
To make continue fulfiling our vision of reform with a public option and no discrimination based on preexisting conditions, all you need to do is dial your Senator or Representative and tell them you want it that way. If enough people do that – and the polls tell us that's what the public wants – it won't be hard to convince Congress to consider passage of a public option in the future.
