More information about Congress and delaying health care reform:

Members of Congress are trying to delay health care reform by waiting until after the August recess. They want three weeks of vacation before they tackle reforming health care.

You know what will happen in those three weeks of vacation?

143,250 people will lose their health insurance coverage [pdf]
53,507 people will file for bankruptcy because they can't pay their medical bills
1,265 people will die [pdf] because they lack coverage

So, Congress - is that worth your vacation? We need action now. We can't afford to wait.
