Tell Congress:
"The COVID-19 pandemic places our health care system under extraordinary strain and families under incredible financial stress. Now more than ever, we must end surprise medical bills and ensure health care is accessible to everyone in the next pandemic response legislation."

John,
Our health care system is a mess. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed many deficiencies in our medical system, including the worsening problem of surprise medical bills which have the real potential of bankrupting working families throughout our country—even for people that have health insurance!
One of the craziest things about the way our health care system “works” is that even if you have good insurance, you often wind up on the hook for thousands of dollars of medical bills, leaving you wondering why you bother paying massive health insurance premiums month after month.
Unexpected medical bills threaten the economic and health security of working families throughout the United States—especially during a public health emergency.
SIGN NOW! Join Social Security Works and our allies to demand Congress end surprise medical bills!
Surprise medical bills are a symptom of our broken health care system, forcing patients to pay out-of-pocket for necessary care that insurance companies refuse to cover. These bills can lead to financial ruin, forcing families to pay hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of dollars for needed health care, despite following all of the rules.
At moments of greatest medical need, patients and their families must be able to focus on getting healthy, not spending their time consulting a team of lawyers to determine what their health insurance actually covers.
SIGN NOW: Demand Congress end surprise medical bills in the next COVID-19 package!
We can get this done! Right now, there is a bipartisan agreement to end surprise medical bills—but our members of Congress need to hear directly from us to make sure this essential fix isn't pushed aside.
Social Security Works will keep fighting to build a health care system that’s based on justice, not corporate profits. Medicare for All is the best way to get there―but that fight will take time. This is one we can win NOW.
As the COVID-19 pandemic places our health care system under extraordinary strain and families under incredible financial stress, we must do everything we can to keep health care affordable and accessible to all.
Social Security Works and our allies across the country are demanding Congress end surprise medical bills in the next pandemic response legislative package. Add your name!
Thank you for your support,
Alex Lawson
