You can help make health care reform better by sending a short email to your legislators. Go to http://legis.virginia.gov/, click on the “who’s my legislator button” on the top right, enter an address and a page will come up with a button to send an email.

The future of health care reform in Virginia now rests with the Virginia legislature, the General Assembly and Governor McDonnell.
