THE ECONOMY IS NOT WORKING FOR WORKING FAMILIES TODAY—AND HEALTH CARE IS A MAJOR PART OF THE PROBLEM.

Across America, families are making hard decisions between paying for health care and paying for other necessities and struggling with a system that is too often cruel and inefficient. As President Obama has said, "Health care reform cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year."

As decision-makers at every level take up health care reform, it is urgent that they hear from working families about what you are experiencing. Please, MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD BY COMPLETING THIS SURVEY, telling your health care story and encouraging your friends, co-workers and family members to do so, too. We'll share the survey results with national, state and media leaders.

The 2009 Health Care for America Survey is sponsored by the AFL-CIO, and Working America, the community affiliate of the AFL-CIO. More than 26,000 of you completed the 2008 survey, gaining widespread media coverage and keeping health care at the top of the national agenda during the election season. This year, we expect even more responses.
