Rapid Response Team

With unprecedented challenges for medicine where we work, in our communities, in our State Legislatures and in Congress, and with a historic opportunity for healthcare reform, your participation in the healthcare and patient care advocacy has become an essential part of practicing medicine.

Join the Rapid Response Team

This year, Congress will take action on meaningful health care reform, saving Medicaid from potential cuts, reauthorizing and expanding SCHIP, reducing medical school debt, the Employee Free Choice Act, and many other issues that impact doctors and their patients. When one of the issues comes up for a vote, we want to make sure legislators hear our voices immediately on behalf of our patients and ourselves.
 
To make sure Doctors Council SEIU is heard on these issues, we’re putting together a team of rapid responders.

What does it mean to be a rapid responder?

1.)  We’ll keep in touch with you on developments relating to health care reform and other issues important to Doctors Council SEIU members through periodic email updates.

2.)  Every so often, when a bill is pending in Congress, or when an important issue arises, we will send you an “action alert” by phone, email or text.

3.)  We’ll ask you to take action, such as by making a call to a legislator, attending a rally or media event, signing a petition, or writing a letter to legislators or newspapers.
 
4.)  We’ll then ask you to reach out to FIVE colleagues and ask them to do the same thing. (You don’t have to ask the same five people each time you receive an action alert.) Ask them to let you know when they’ve completed the action.

5.)  Then report back to us and let us know how successful you and your colleagues were – it’s just that easy.

We know your schedules are incredibly busy, so this is a low-hassle, high-impact way for you to be involved in shaping local, state-wide and national policies in a way that makes a real difference and lets your voice be heard!
