Good afternoon,
Good afternoon,
You are receiving this email because you signed up at WhiteHouse.gov. My staff and I plan to use these messages as a way to directly communicate about important issues and opportunities, and today I have some encouraging updates about health care reform. The Vice President and I just met with leaders from the House of Representatives and received their commitment to pass a comprehensive health care reform bill by July 31. We also have an unprecedented commitment from health care industry leaders, many of whom opposed health reform in the past.
Monday, I met with some of these health care stakeholders, and they pledged to do their part to reduce the health care spending growth rate, saving more than two trillion dollars over the next ten years -- around $2,500 for each American family. Then on Tuesday, leaders from some of America's top companies came to the White House to showcase innovative ways to reduce health care costs by improving the health of their workers.
Now the House and Senate are beginning a critical debate that will determine the health of our nation's economy and its families. This process should be transparent and inclusive and its product must drive down costs, assure quality and affordable health care for everyone, and guarantee all of us a choice of doctors and plans.
Reforming health care should also involve you. Think of other people who may want to stay up to date on health care reform and other national issues and tell them to join us here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/EmailUpdates Health care reform can't come soon enough. We spend more on health care than any country, but families continue to struggle with skyrocketing premiums and nearly 46 million are without insurance entirely.
It is a priority for the American people and a pillar of the new foundation we are seeking to build for our economy. We'll continue to keep you posted about this and other important issues.
Thank you,
Barack Obama
P.S. If you'd like to get more in-depth information about health reform and how you can participate, be sure to visit http://www.healthreform.gov/.

Hi, My name is Chloe Pearson, and I’m working on writing a guide to help
individuals understand their health care options under the Affordable Care Act.
I’m gathering quite a few resources, and firstly want to say thank you for all
the valuable information you provide on your site.
I also wanted to let you know that I found a link on your site that doesn’t seem
to be working. It’s a link to http://www.healthreform.gov/ (found on this page:
http://docsaleeby4.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html), which was archived
when the Affordable Care Act became law. This page has replaced it:
https://www.healthcare.gov/, which I thought would be helpful to you in case
you’d like to update the broken link.
I’ve also found a few other resources that I thought you may want to link to.
These have been really useful to me, so I’m passing them on in hopes you’ll
agree they would be useful and helpful to others via your site:
Affordable Care Act: Obamacare & Health Reform Facts: http://healthreform.kaiserpermanente.org/
Understanding the Impact of Obamacare on Medicare: http://blog.ehealthmedicare.com/media-center/infographics/?pid=11
What does Marketplace health insurance cover?

Affordable Care Act: State-by-State Impact: http://www.hhs.gov/healthcare/facts/bystate/statebystate.html

I hope you’re able to use these on your site!
If you are looking for more info, I’d be happy to show you my guide when I’ve
finished it! I’m hoping it will be very useful. Or if you know of any other
resources that might help, I’m open to suggestions.
Thanks so much! Hope you’re able to use these resources. All my best,
Chloe
