Over the last week, tens of thousands of people have sent a letter to President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Majority Leader Reid telling them to finish health reform right. Joining them, hundreds of organizations who care about health reform - from huge international unions to small community groups - and health care and political experts like Jacob Hacker, Wendell Potter, and Mike Lux have also signed on to the letter.
With one voice, we're all fighting for some very important things as the House and Senate health care bills head into conference to be reconciled, things like the public option, affordable health care for all, and strong insurance regulations.

We must fight for things in conference, things like:
These things are important. They will lower cost to government and to people. They will hold the insurance industry accountable and do away with their bad practices. They will increase competition. And they will make health care for you and me better.
These things are worth fighting for, but it's about people, too.
Today, we're posting one story every hour for 24 hours of real people showing why it's so important to finish reform right. Stories like Georgeanne Koehler, who's brother died because his insurer denied his care. Or Valeria Castle-Stanley, who works hard but can't afford a tax on her health care benefits.
Follow along as these stories get posted, and add yours in the comments!
And this week, we'll be turning up the volume. We've got a television ad all set to go, sending a clear message to Congress and the White House that important things must be fixed in conference. The ad is set to run in all 50 states and Washington, DC, guaranteeing our politicians get the message.
Watch it:
