You’re amazing.

In these last six months, you’ve challenged me to think in new ways about the issues we face in our jobs and how we’re going to address them - as individual caregivers and as a nation.

I’ve challenged you to push yourself; to go outside your comfort zone to make your voice heard – because your voice is so important in this debate.

The results have been remarkable:

I asked you to let your coworkers know about our movement to fix healthcare – to get them involved. As a result, our online community has nearly doubled.

I asked you to reach out to your fellow caregivers and talk with them about this important election. In response, you contacted over one million healthcare workers through our campaign. 

Then, I asked you to get out and vote like the future of healthcare depended on it. Yesterday, thousands of you from all across the country showed up and cast your ballots. You broke records and shattered expectations.

I’m humbled by what we’ve accomplished. Thanks to you, we’ve elected a president, vice president, and a new congress that have signed a pledge to support our core principles and work with us to make tomorrow’s healthcare better than today’s.

But, more importantly, I'm inspired by what we'll be capable of in the coming months. More than ever, we need you to help keep healthcare on the map - literally.

I've added my name to a growing map of caregivers and everyday Americans urging President-Elect Obama to keep healthcare a priority, because I can't wait to begin to make these changes.  I hope you'll lend your name, as well: http://www.healthcareunited.org/map
