It's got a name. And a website.

The Obama Plan: Stability & Security for All Americans

The site is divided into three sections: information is arranged for if you have health insurance, if you do not have any coverage, and information for all Americans.

Key points:

Ends discrimination against people with pre-existing conditions.

Prevents insurance companies from dropping coverage when people are sick and need it most.

Protects Medicare for seniors.

Creates a new insurance marketplace – the Exchange – that allows people without insurance and small businesses to compare plans and buy insurance at competitive prices.

Offers a public health insurance option to provide the uninsured and those who can’t find affordable coverage with a real choice.

Immediately offers new, low-cost coverage through a national "high risk" pool to protect people with preexisting conditions from financial ruin until the new Exchange is created.

Won’t add a dime to the deficit and is paid for upfront.

This is a vision and a plan I can support. I'm letting President Obama know now that he's got my help. I'm also letting members of Congress know that this is what comprehensive healthcare reform looks like.

Contact the White House here and let them know you support the plan.

Many other diaries list important Congressional contact information. Use these diaries. Rack up a phone bill this month - if you can afford it. Otherwise e-mail these folks and try to get representatives on aboard.

Obama said it best - this is nothing less than a test of our nation's character. Not for posterity, but for this moment.

The President has taken ownership of an onerous task. We need to make it clear we stand behind him on this one.
