The House of Delegates in the Maryland
General Assembly has passed a health care
reform bill that has what we want ... a tobacco tax
to support health care coverage for about 100,000
uninsured Marylanders. A good start on health
care for all in Maryland.
That House bill, HB 754, is now being considered
in the Senate. This is the last week of the General
Assembly 2007 session. Members of the Senate
Finance Committee can vote YES to sending HB
754 to the floor for a vote by the full Senate this
week.
Please call the Senate Finance Committee chair,
Senator “Mac” Middleton RIGHT
AWAY and ask him to bring HB 754
up for a vote. Reach his office by calling 1-
800-492-7122 x3616.
We still have a shot at advancing health care
reform this session. Please help by making that
call!
