5 Actions To Take on Health Care

Posted by Eugenia

Cross-posted from APA for Progress - thanks, NaomiRo!

The next two months are a critical time for the health care movement. In fact, this summer may be the most important moment in a generation. For the first time in years, we have a President committed to reform - with enough popularity to pull it off -  a Democratic Congress - and the political will of the American people.
 
But there are huge hurdles ahead - and President Obama has admitted that if reform doesn’t happen this year, he doesn’t see it happening during his presidency. So it’s now or never. Here’s a cheat sheet of exactly what’s happening - and why it matters, specifically, for AAPI communities.
