We need you to call or write your Senators TODAY to ask them to support Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND)'s amendment to eliminate lifetime caps in existing (grandfathered) plans.  As currently drafted, the Senate health reform bill eliminates lifetime caps in all new plans in the individual, small group and large group markets.  But, all existing plans and their renewals are grandfathered and can continue to have lifetime caps indefinitely. 

Senator Dorgan has just filed an amendment to the Senate health reform bill which would address the problem of grandfathered plans.  His amendment (#3218) would phase-out lifetime caps for grandfathered plans, setting a minimum lifetime cap on these plans at $5 million for two years, then $10 million for two years.  Lifetime limits would be eliminated altogether in 2014. 

Please call and write your Senators TODAY.  Ask them to contact Senator Dorgan and Majority Leader Reid to offer their support for Senator Dorgan's amendment.  You can reach the Senate switchboard at 202-224-3121.  Tell the operator where you live and he or she will connect you with your Senators' offices.  You can use the draft email below to write to them as well.
