<p>We believe that families and individuals can make a difference by showing that we need <strong>HEALTH CARE REFORM NOW</strong> in our country, and that it cannot wait any longer.</p>
<p>We happen to be just <strong>one family</strong> out of millions who has been suffering due to the terrible state of our current US health care system. It has been frustrating that we can not better our own insurance situation, and even more frustrating that there has been little we could do to effect any positive change in the system itself.</p>
<p>But we got an idea and got <strong><em>inspired</em></strong>. What if we COULD actually make a difference by creating a symbol that shows our support for <strong>Health Care Reform</strong>?  What if we could also make it available so that others could freely show their support too?  And what if we donated 1/2 of profits from this project to health care reform itself?</p>
<p>We have developed a health care reform flag bumper sticker and auto magnet with the slogan <em><strong>Health Care Reform Now</strong></em> to serve this purpose.</p>
<p>It was important to us that the symbol for support of Health Care Reform incorporated the American Flag.  What could be more American than improving the current system, and making health care affordable and better for everyone who lives in and loves the United States of America?</p>
<p>The H is the same style H that appears on Hospital information signs.  We chose the H to stand for Health Care Reform.</p>
<p>By displaying our auto magnet and bumper sticker versions of the Health Care Reform Flag, you will help get the message out there that there are MANY who support a change to the current system. By purchasing these products YOU are donating to the cause of health care reform.</p>
<p><strong>Here is our story:</strong></p>
<p>Both my husband and I lost our corporate jobs within the past fifteen years due to budget cutbacks and company restructures.  With the loss of our jobs, we also lost the group plan rates that we got for health care through our companies.</p>
<p>We each started our own small businesses and have been making it work, but health care costs have been one of our biggest struggles, and they continue to rise.</p>
<p>With no large group to be a part of, our rates are practically unreachable, and because of a pre-existing conditions we have been advised not to change companies or we could lose our possibility of qualifying for new insurance plans all together.  We pay exorbitant prices, growing dangerously close to what we pay for our home mortgage payment each month. In return, we have plans with high deductibles and scant coverage, and  lots of qualifiers we have to meet, We also get little help with the prescription drugs our family needs.</p>
<p>Because insurance companies have requirements regarding the physicians and facilities we go to for care, we&#8217;ve made mistakes by thinking a doctor&#8217;s office or hospital or clinic would be covered, only to find out afterward that the information given to us was wrong, and we were responsible for the bill.  That is not fair, people,<strong> especially</strong> when things are checked out beforehand.</p>
<p>Our current health care system is broken, and we are tired of staying silent.</p>
<p>Will you join us?  Support the cause by purchasing a <em>Health Care Reform Flag</em> and display it proudly!</p>
<p>We know that by working together, raising awareness of the support of health care reform as a large group, and donating to the cause of health care reform, WE CAN UNITE TO MAKE HEALTH CARE BETTER.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what it&#8217;s all about.</p>
