Abstract:
This postcard encourages people to support legislation to increase lifetime caps on health insurance so that individuals with catastrophic injuries or chronic diseases are not left without coverage. It features Superman actor Christopher Reeve, who was paralyzed in a horse-back riding accident. He is seated in a wheelchair with supports for his head. He is wearing a dark jacket and white shirt. Another man is standing next to him holding a baby. The baby is wearing a dark shirt, khaki pants and white sneakers and has a blue pacifier. Text is in white print in a red band at the bottom of the card. The word "Superman" is in the iconic three-dimensional red and yellow script.
