A new Internet mailing list is now on-line as a conduit through which the
White House sends health-reform announcements directly to health professionals
and others with electronic mailing addresses.

LIST.HEALTHPLAN is on the Institute for Global Communications (IGC) system
and can be subscribed to by sending a message to [email-masked] in
the following exact format:

Topic:   SUBSCRIBE LIST.HEALTHPLAN
Body:    ADD: your-electronic-address-here (your real name in parentheses)
         Your real name here
         Your postal address (optional)
         City, State
         Profession
         Professional interest in health care (if any)
         Institutional affiliation, if relevant

You will receive a welcome letter describing the list in detail and telling
you how to retrieve items that have previously gone to the list.

If you want ONLY the welcome letter, send a message to [email-masked]
in the following exact format:

Topic:      WELCOME *ONLY* LIST.HEALTHPLAN
Body:       TO: your-electronic-address-here (your real name in parentheses)
            Please send WELCOME TO HEALTH LIST letter ONLY.

Remember that you will still have to send an ADD message if you want to be on
the list.

To write to the White House electronically about health care or any other
issue, use the addresses [email-masked] and VICE.PRESIDENT@-
WHITEHOUSE.GOV, and be sure to include your postal address if you want a
reply -- only a generic reply letter goes out electronically.  The most
effective letters are very brief and to the point.
