Dear John,
Time is running out! Monday, March 6, is the last day to tell the Biden administration to put patients first and reverse the very dangerous Trump refusal of care rule, which gave hospitals and other health care workers the authority to refuse care because of personal beliefs. All patients deserve the care they need.

Subject: Tell the Biden administration: Personal beliefs should never determine the care a patient receives!
Dear John,
The Department of Health and Human Services proposed a rule to reverse Trump-Pence's harmful refusals of care rules that gave hospitals, ambulances, drivers, schedulers, and more the license to refuse care because of personal beliefs. Now is our chance to reverse these rules.
This new proposed rule will revoke the Trump-Pence refusal of care rule that allowed hospitals, doctors, nurses, and other individuals and institutions to deny a patient standard medical care based on their personal beliefs and dismiss the patient's health completely. Will you help us ensure this proposed new rule goes through?
Tell the Biden administration personal beliefs should never determine the care a patient receives and submit your comment TODAY!
Hospitals have refused to treat or refer someone who needs an abortion. Pharmacies have denied patients birth control or medications needed for miscarriage or chronic health conditions. In order to protect patients who may be targeted and lose access to care due to the unlawful Trump rule, we need to take action and tell the Biden administration to support the new proposed rule and protect patients NOW!
In solidarity,
