Sample Letter to Representative and Senators
Health industry lobbyists are spending tern of millions of dollars to delay health reform. By speaking
out, you can put consumers back in the driver's seat of the health reform debate. Reform will become a
reality if people like you let Congress know: You'U stand behind them if they stand up to the health
industry lobbyists—and stand up for health nsform.
Personal letters are mijch more effective than postcards because they take more time to compose. You

our h<:iltk insurance altogether, my hu»b«nd and 1 -will be among the two million
Amer c;ins who lose their insurance each month. We would both rest easier if

YOU can help win the struggle for health reform.
Become a message volunteer for
the Health Security Express!
T
HE HEALTH SECURITY EXPRESS IS sending caravans ofbuses to Washington, DC from
every region of the country, dc mnding that Congress respond to President Clinton's
leadership for universal coverage and guarantee that no American ever loses their health
insurana.. Along the way, the Hedth J't frarity Express "reform riders" will be collecting thousands of pro-reform letters to deliver to Congress.
Alter years of struggle, health reform canfinallybecome a reality—if we work hard now to
make diat happen. If Congr:ss doesn't pass health reform in August, we may lose the long,
hard battle we've waged.
Here's where you come in Please help us gather letters demanding health reform. Members
of Congress will need to be able to show support from back home in order to vote for reform.
HERE'S H O W Y O U C A N HELP:
1. Photocopy the enclosed Health.Security Express letterhead and Sample Letter.
(Make 3 copies of t;he stationery for every sample letter.)
2. Ask you friends, co-wor kers, neighbors, relatives-anyone you can think of who
favors health reforrn~to writs letters. Give them the Sample Letter and 3 pieces
of stationery—I for their Repriiiientative and 2 for their Senators.
* You might find people to write letters in:
- church or synagogue ^ union halls - senior centers — your office
- meeting of organ zations In which you are involved
• Be ready to give your letter writers the correct name and spelling for their
Senators and Representative. If you need help, call our office at 800-368-8478.
3. Collect all the letters and send them to Health Security Express headquarters in
Washington, DC. (Heaich Security Express/attn.: Mail Coordinator/1334 G Street.
NW/Washington. DC 20005).
4. If you know with o^her people who are willing to help, call us at 800/368-8478.
If you can't get materials to them, we will.

Here is the current schedule for Bob Van Hook's route. I included Saturday evening so he
could see the hotel arrangements (however, you or he need to make a reservation).
On Sunday morning, the bus departs out of Boise, Idaho at 8:00 am. There will not be an
event in Boise. This route has three buses filled with supportive group representatives, labor
folks, ordinary individuals who have been hurt by the current system, providers, etc. At
10:30 am, the bus will pick up local media from Twin Falls and then ride into Twin Falls.
At the 11:00 am arrival in Twin Falls, there will be supporters to greet the bus. Bob Van
Hook will be speaking at the Lunch Twin Falls Event. The buses will depart Twin Falls at
1:00 pm and do a media pick up of local Salt Lake City media at 6:00 pm. The Health
Security Express rolls into Salt Lake City at 6:30 pm and will be greeted by supporters.
There is a dinner that night at the hotel where Bob Van Hook will have the opportunity to
speak. The dinner should conclude at approximately 7:30 pm or 8:00 pm.
The desk contact is Nicole Vanderberg at 206-625-6939 ~ unfortunately she can not be
reached today due to the Portland event. However, I had a long conversation with her
deputy, Monica Nicholas who was very helpful. She can be reached at the same number.
You should give her a call and work out the details for Bob Van Hook.
O.K. Cool.

PROJECT S P O N S O R S H I P
I
N LATE JULY and early August, Congress will
weigh one of the most important legislative decisions
of our time: whether to guarantee comprehensive private health insurance to all Americans- insurance that
can never be taken away.
Millions of Americans will follow the debate
closely. Thousands of citizens will do more than
listen and watch. They "will ride into history-on
caravans of buses from every region of the coun^
PORTVANP
try, arriving on Capitol Hill at the beginning of
August. They will be nurses, doctors, working
people and retirees, celebrities, and political leaders. The "reform riders" will be carrying handwritten messages from their neighbors back home,
addressed to elected representatives, demanding
that Congress respond to President Clinton's leadership for universal coverage and guarantee thai no
American ever loses their health insurance.
The Health Security Express is supported by a
diverse group of organizations, corporations, and
unions. National sponsors, include: the American
Federation of State, Count}' and Municipal
Employees; Health RIGHT; Families USA; Hospital
Employees Local 1199; the United Auto Workers;
Communications Workers of America; Alzheimer's
Association; Waste Management, Inc.; Laborers
International Union of North America; Sen-ice
Employees International Union; and United Food and
Commercial Workers. Organizations or individuals
may sponsor a bus or donate supplies and services.

ON THE WAY, they will attend electrifying events in
cities around the country with big name entertainers,
state and community leaders and, we expect, the
President, the First Lady, Vice President and Mrs. Gore,
i::d Cabinet members. The reform riders "will be treated
as honored guests along the routes, where they will be
greeted by local officials and enjoy meals cooked by religious and community organizations.
Reaching Washington, they'll be greeted on Capitol
Hill by leaders of the House and Senate. The reform
riders will deliver thousands of personal messages to
each member of Congress. Other events in Washington
that week may feature the First Lady and Cabinet
members, as well as entertainment celebrities.
Bus routes are planned to maximize media coverage
in the districts of targeted lawmakers. Starting in the
West, Midwest, South, and Northeast, routes will run
from one to eight days.
The caravans will pass through many towns without long stops. Nonetheless, photo and interview
opportunities will be arranged for local media.
Reporters will be invited to ride with the Health
Security Express through their communities and supporters will be encouraged to cheer the reform riders
as they pass through town.
PURPOSE
Demonstrate an outpouring of support for passage of
health reform.
Influence swing members of Congress by holding
high-profile community events in their backyards.
Enable supportive groups, businesses, and community
leaders to join the groundswell of public support for
health reform.
HOW Y O U

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+4"><strong>Segment Four</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of records describing the efforts of the Clinton Administration to pass the Health Security Act, which would have reformed the health care system of the United States. This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+6">Segment Six</a></strong><br /> This collection consists of the files of the Health Care Task Force, focusing on material from Jack Lew and Lynn Margherio. Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>
