The Senate will vote on the American Rescue Plan, Congress' COVID-19 relief bill, in the next 24 hours. With a new pro-health care administration and majority in Congress, this is the greatest opportunity in a decade to make real progress on the health and health care issues that matter most to our communities. We need to keep up our advocacy to expand access to health coverage and care!

Our updated toolkit includes:

• Talking points for conversations with policymakers and reporters 
• Sample letters to the editor 
• A sample thank you note for Members of Congress who support the bill
• Sample social media graphics and content

Additional resources to elevate the importance of health coverage during COVID:

• Letter: Over 220 Organizations Send Letter of Support for Health Coverage Provisions in COVID-19 Relief Package
• NEW! Report from Families USA: The Catastrophic Cost Of Uninsurance: COVID-19 Cases And Deaths Closely Tied To America’s Health Coverage Gaps
• General Graphics from HCAN: HCAN's #AmericanRescuePlan Thank You/Accountability Graphics
• Individual Graphics from HCAN: Senator Thank You Graphics for #AmericanRescuePlan Vote

As we near the passage of the American Rescue Plan, we must keep up the drumbeat in support of this robust response to the pandemic. It's time to thank the Members of Congress who support this package - and remind them of the work still left to do. By advocating together, we can expand access to health care for all.

In solidarity,
