Excellent idea.
|
| Roberta Smith | TN |
This idea makes sense in so many ways it boggles the mind that it hasn't happened and is being fought now. The current bill does nothing to lower insurance premiums and does nothing to create competition for lower premiums.

The title is: THE CIVIL RIGHTS BATTLE OF OUR TIME--EXPANDED MEDICARE FOR ALL. By: Jeanine Molloff The url : http://www.opednews.com/articles/The-civil-rights-battle-of-by-Jeanine-Molloff-100223-406.html. Hope it helps. God bless all of you. This is in Melanie's honor.

Some in America are so afraid of the term socialism they have determined we should do nothing for our fellow citizen and everyone for themselves is what our forefathers wanted. I say we have to determine as a society if “life liberty and the pursuit of happiness” includes healthcare as a basic human right. We need to decide as a society if the health of our nation depends as much on its doctors and hospitals as it does on its bombs and bullets. No one seems to have a problem with our military being run by the government.

Not only should we have a "strong public option" (i.e., Medicare) FOR ALL. But MORE IMPORTANTLY, "quality" healthcare for ALL.
Being on Medicare for several years, I must say I've been openly "patronized" by most Medicare practitioners...to the point of SERIOUS medical "abuse"...in at least 3 instances in last 2+ yrs.
In particular, I fell just a few inches 2 yrs ago, and fractured my wrist. Should've been just a "re-set" (which I requested).
But in rural Oregon (where I'd just moved), the major medical facility, and ALL its surgeons are "partnered"-in with ALL surrounding major medical facilities (& THEIR surgeons) for 250+ miles. A LOT of conflict-of-interest, anti-trust.
Additionally, since "RURAL" doctors are paid MORE by Medicare, given ("incentive") to handle Medicare cases (a provision included in CURRENT health care legislation), more unecessary Medicare "research"/surgeries will be exploited. Surgeries NOT with the patients' best interest, OR full-consent considered.
Which brings up MY fracture 2 yrs. ago...as a MEDICARE PATIENT. During which I was: (1) made to wait THREE days for surgery (with a long-term chronic paint condition). [NOTE: 3 hand-orthos were on-staff then, in "non-rush" season; and (2)I was mid-lead about the TRUE extent of the surgery to be performed on my Wrist...by a "newbie" FOOT SURGEON (who failed to tell me he was NOT a HAND surgeon); and (3) I had TEN bolts, a "plate," and a FIVE INCH incision inflicted on my narrow, frail wrist. (AGAIN, a long-term Chronic Pain patient).
2+ yrs. later, with Chronic Pain now "spread" to that Malpracticed Wrist, $25K in doc bills, my hand is seriously crippled, most due to Medicare-funded UNECESSARY extensive "hardware" restricting my Wrist/Hand/Arm's movement.
Worse yet, I can NOT get the "all-partnered" rural surgeons here to remove said crippling hardware. They all "line-up" with their "foot surgeon" friend/partner...saying the 10 bolts, plate, and 5" incision are NOT the source of my pain!! Talk about Patronization!
And their (joint) insurer taunted me last summer to "sue them"...as they "did NOT think they'd be paid"(by Medicare) for 2nd surgery. So they wouldn't be correcting same.
In appealing to my Oregon politicians(many who SAY they're for Public Option/Medicare...I've been offered NO assistance. My local Rep's spouse is our County D.A.! Sen. Wyden's office asked WHY I called HIM??...as he's my "Federal" Senator???
My other two Rep's: Merkley and Telfer both promised to get back to me. Neither did...despite my repeat phone calls; and letter particularly to Telfer (at HER request). She HAD promised to help?
In closing, Medicare/Public Option for all. But WITH GUIDELINES that protect ALL Medicare/ Public Option patients...so we're NOT treated like "public" cattle, for Medical research. Particularly in rural areas, where Medicare doctors are given "incentives" to take Medicare cases. "Graft" which can ONLY lead to the kind of "abuse" on Medicare patients I personally describe above.
Thank you for your time.
There WERE 3 hand surgeons available to perform the surgery, HAD I wanted one. But instead, I was given to a FOOT surgeon (w/ 2 yrs' licensing). Now, because Medicare "will NOT reimburse them" most probably, ALL the "partnered" doctors here refuse to remove the extensive, unwanted "hardware" which cripples my hand.
In conclusion, Medicare is great. But the current Senate bill does NOT break-up "anti-trust" monopolies within a state (that WOULD include "medical monopolies" as well as insurance monopolies (such as are in place here in rural Oregon.
In addition to providing healthcare for all, we should NOT be forfeiting our rights as patients to sue (IF MALPRACTICE KNOWINGLY IS 'PRACTICED.') There is NO doubt in my mind that the "monopoly" medical facility here did "research" on my arm PRECISELY because I was a Medicare patient. In addition to giving me a newbie "FOOT" doctor to operate on my arm (in a manner NOT agreed upon)...but I had a PRE-EXISTING "chronic pain condition"...which the unnecessary 10 bolts, "plate" and 5" incision exacerbated...and spread to an area NOT previously experiencing "chronic pain."
Further, Medicare needs a better "review" mechanism in place, for such instances.

I been having an anus infection for over 10 years now, everytime I walk, my anus would hurt make strange sounds and people would just laugh at me. i am too old for this, i have paid into my health insurance, and i cant get any help for my anus infection. they cover name brand prescriptions but not any good anus creams. sometimes, on stormy days, my anus would leak on the floor and I would slip in it. i can not bare the pain no more, so by signing this could help my anus infection, then lets stick it to them, but not in the anus, cause I know how that would feel. do you know what it feels like to fall onto your swollen anus? the infection would pop like a zit. can you imagine that? i can, cause i have a swollen anus thats infected. we need to get this petition done right, so we all can have a good anus without any infections.

My mother recently passed from Primary CNS Lymphoma. She had health insurance: illegally. She lived in Florida, and had BCBS of Alabama. Not to mention that our family gathered together to pay those insurance bills. Thank God, they never caught on, because BCBS of Florida for an individual would have been unaffordable (hell it was for me as an individual, and I was a healthy 25 year old guy!). If Mama hadn't had the insurance, she might not have had the wonderful last four months.

No other option is acceptable.

I am a folk musician/singer/songwriter activist for affordable healthcare. Many songs reflect concern over healthcare crisis. I am for HR-676; single-payer. The phrases HR-676 and single-payer appear several times in my original lyrics. I have also had a good job yanked with the insurance too, under the weight of this bad economy.
I have a challenge of Aspergers Syndrome (mildly autistic); so I represent a citizen group that the privatized healthcare is clearly unfair to. Sometimes it is harder for us to get a job; but without a job (or without a darn good job) how can we have insurance? In all reality, private insurance is unfair to everybody. Even the one who got out of line at work and got fired doesn't deserve to lose his coverage. Healthcare is a public defense issue.

What happened to the "change you can believe in"? This past week; Senator Max Baucus, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, having already preemptively excluded any participation of a credible spokesperson for single payer health care, laughingly joked "we need more police". Qualified doctors and lawyers protested their exclusion from the debate, and were thrown out of the room. I have had enough of this kind of joking and the pretense associated with this debate. Apparently, this jocularity was not only Baucus’ doing, the whole Senate panel erupted into laughter. So-called "liberals", like John Kerry, needed to get in his own wisecrack, saying "Is there anybody in the audience who didn't ... uh ... come to ..." before it finally occurred to Baucus how incredibly bad this would look on video. He interrupted Kerry, to try to resume projecting their bogus concern and compassion. Who do you people think you are? I am in need of medical care – the PA-C I am so “lucky” to have for my “health-care” has already told me she does not know how to dose my lifetime meds! That’s pretty funny, huh? I find none of the Senator's words laughable and I am very insulted by the falsehoods that people like me have been told about the compassionate “liberals” for whom I voted. None of you will be getting my vote if you do not put into law a single-payer health plan! I believe that the Dems are chickening out on single-payer health insurance.
I am STILL not laughing!

Health care is a basic right. It should NOT be an industry. And I don't buy the malarkey that if we don't pay the doctors and researchers very handsomely they won't try to treat and/or work hard to find a cure for cancer or Lou Gehrig's, etc. EVERYONE is capable of getting any horrible disease. Therefore the motivation to research and cure is innate in all of us. No, we won't lose the "best and the brightest" with universal health care....we'll lose the greediest.

I whole heartedly support a single payer healthcare system. I also would like to see free scholarships for anyone who qualifies for medical school. (payback could come in the form of promising one year service in low income or rural areas.) Also think Govt. financed liability insurance for doctors would be a real cost-cutter. Any doctor found guilty more than once of malpractice would then have to pay for private insurance.

I'm 25 yrs old and have no medical insurence.I've tried to go to free health clinics but get turned away.I also don't have the extra money to pay monthly at outragous costs for medical insurence because most plans still dont cover what i need and i have to get them separately,I can't go to the emergency room because it takes 7-10 hrs (literally) and they usually don't diagnose right,tell me what i already now but don't help the situation or i leave before actually seeing the doctor and still get billed.I think everyone should have a right to healthcare no matter what situation your in.

we all need afforable health care not just the old and disable but everyone who can't afford the high price health care preuims of the big companys like blue cross and blue shield, aenta, an unicare, we can't afford that and their no doctor wants to treat you without medical insurnace unless you have cash and that is not possible at all time when you go to the doctor. so how about making some kind of insurance available for the poor and working class citizens and i'm not talking about some rip off quality of life center or no health department either. i'm talking about something that we all can afford to pay for doctor visit,emergency room visits, hospital stay, outpatient care the one day surgery situations. come up with a plan that the poor working class can afford and the middle class, because once you loose your job their are no more benefits or insurance to cover you. i am no of those statistics myself and i know what it feels like not to be able to go to the doctor when i need to . i have several illness and just can't afford to always go. i have to decide between food, pay bills, or try and get some of my medication.

I grew in Canada, where they have a governmet health care system, and it was wonderful. We didn't have to wait for a year to go to a doctor or find a way to pay for it. My dad went in the hospital for four days and had his ingrown toe nails operated on and it only cost him $3.00 for the entire thing. I know prices have gone up since then, that was back in the early 60's. But still knowing that if you need health care, it won't bankrupt you is a blessing. I totally support this bill for health care for everyone.

If Cuba, an island nation with little to no resources at their disposal can afford free health care for all it's citizens, then how is it that we, a large, industrialized, and powerful nation, cannot? America is still recognized as one of the very few remaining "Superpowers" in the world, yet more than half of all Americans could not afford to cover the cost of a sudden, catastrophic illness, or injury they may incur in their lives. It makes no sense to me, as a hard working, "middle class" citizen, with membership in a rather large labor union that, if I were to be injured, or become ill, I would have to go so deeply into debt to pay the deductibles on my medical bills that I could lose my home, or possibly lose my ability to feed my family.
Yes, I understand that, in order to pay for a National Health Service, my taxes would need to be raised, or other considerations would need to be made. Yes, I understand that I would be contributing to a system that pays for those who may be poorer than myself to receive health care. However with the institution of a "Flat Tax", or balanced tax system in place, that someone richer than myself would also be contributing to my potential use of the service as well. I was raised in a household that swore by the ideal that we MUST help those who cannot help themselves, and that we, as Americans should ALL be viewed as equals.
Without comprehensive health care for ALL Americans, covered under the umbrella of a Socialized plan, offering free medical,optical, and dental care for EVERYONE, we are absolutely NOT equal. We are divided by levels of health, and financial ability to maintain said health.
This country was founded on a concept of freedom, equality, and fairness that I haven't seen in my lifetime, and unless we take the power away from corrupt insurance companies, and place it back into the hands of Americans, removing the financial burdens of medical bills, and high priced prescriptions, I have no faith in ever seeing that equality, or fairness in my life from this day on.
PLEASE, help out our fellow Americans! WE NEED A NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE! If it can work for the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Spain, Cuba, Australia, Germany, Holland, and several other Nations around the world that don't have access to the resources we do, then it can work for us.

My husband lost his job last September and i had health insurance through his company through the end of January 2009 but now i dont have any and i went to go buy indivdial health insurance and they say because of a diagnosis of PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) i have been denied coverage by Aetna and Humana One because of this diagnosis. This is so NOT right. I am now between a rock and a hard place people in america shouldnt have to worry about whether or not they can pay their bills or take care of their health. This world is in a pitiful shape! We need to do something about this! NOW!

It is past time for Congress to pass HR676, Expanded Medicare for All, and stop the suffering of those who cannot afford or make an appointment with a doctor. Their only recourse is the emergency room, which are being eliminated in some cities. This is not a third-world country, but the US treats its citizens as third-world people.

A Lot of people make the mistake that it's only the uninsured that would want such a bill. As for my family and many other that are insured we are sick of having corporations come between us and our doctors.
This is the right way forward for health care reform. Settling for anything less would be getting robbed.

Self-employed people, such as myself, are payiing ridiculous health insurance premiums for little to no medical coverage in some instances. I think it's a shame that I have to wait until I am really sick or can no longer tolerate symptoms of a medical problem to go to a doctor, because my current policy will only cover 70% of my bill - or nothing at all if the test/procedure is not a "covered" item.

IT IS SHAMEFUL WHEN A PERSON HAS TO GO THROUGH SUCH LENGTHS JUST TO GET HELP WHEN THE PEOPLE WHO READ THIS IF THEY DO, HAVE NO PROBLEM ABOUT WORRYING ABOUT HEALTH CARE. I AM JUST ASKING FOR HELP IN FINDING OUT WHY I STAY SICK, I HAVE TAKEN PENICILLIN 3 TIMES, CIPPRO, AND JUST FINISHED THE AVELOX 400 MGS 1 PILL FOR 10 DAYS, GUESS WHAT ?--STILL SICK! NONE WORK. JUST FINISHED THE CELEXA AND WILL NOT CONTINUE ON ANY MORE.
THIS IS WHERE OUR PARISH WOULD RATHER SPEND THE MONEY. Last week the Calcasieu Police Jury agreed to buy an 11 story building on Lakeshore Drive to be used for office space and parking by the District Attorney's office and nearby courts. The cost was nearly $5 million. It was purchased from an investment group that paid around $3 million for the site just a few weeks earlier.
Do you approve of Calcasieu Parish government purchasing the 11 story "white building" from a local investment group for just over 1.5 million dollars more than the group paid for it a few weeks ago?
IS THIS WHAT THEY WOULD RATHER SPEND THE MONEY ON, DESK SPACE AND PARKING?

MS. WENDY IN BATON ROUGE RECOMMENDED THAT I STAY ON THE CELEXA AND START THE RELPAX WHEN IT COMES IN, DESPITE WHAT THE FDA SAYS.
Dear Ms.********:
Thank you for your inquiry to the Division of Drug Information at the
Food and Drug Administration.
You are correct, you are on quite a bit of medications. One of the
concerns that I have is that some of these medications have side
effects
that may increase some of you symptoms of depression, headache, and
drowsiness. Another issue that should be brought to the attention of
you doctor/pharmacist is that if you have an allergy to the drug
Imitrex, you may have some reaction to the Relpax.
Dilantin is a drug that is used to help control you from having
seizures, it's a drug that is considered to have a very narrow
therapeutic window, which means that the levels of the drug should be
monitored otherwise, if elevated or reduced, there is a increased
potential for a seizure to occur.
Neurontin is another medication to prevent seizures. However, it can
cause drowisiness. In addition, both Celexa and the hydrocodone that
you have been prescribe will cause additional drowsiness.
It is not recommended to take Celexa and Relpax at the same time, as it
may lead to what is referred to as serotoinin syndrome.
DO YOU WANT TO TAKE ALL OF THESE MEDICATIONS, AND BE TOLD GO HOME AND SLEEP OR AS SSI SAYS, GO BACK TO WORK, WHEN YOU HAVE 3 KIDS? WHY IS IT SO HARD TO JUST SAY ADMIT HER FOR 3-4 DAYS, DO ALL TESTS, ALL, AND INTRAVENOUS MEDICATIONS. HOW HARD IS THAT?
YOU COME PAY FOR ALL OF THIS. AND STILL PAY BILLS, BUY GROCERIES, AND AT THIS TIME TRY TO GET PRESENTS FOR YOUR KIDS WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE A JOB, AND YOUR BOYFRIEND IS WORKING OVER TIME TO TRY TO DO IT ALL. STILL BEING DENIED FOR ANY HELP. SAY BOYFRIEND MAKES TOO MUCH MONEY, WELL, I WONDER WHY, BUT YET THEY DO NOT WANT TO ADD UP ALL THE BILLS AND SUCH THAT THE MONEY GOES TO AND WHAT IS LEFT OVER. JUST HOW MUCH IS MADE A YEAR, NOT BROUGHT HOME.

AND PLEASE DO NOT JUST E-MAIL ME AND TELL ME TO CONSULT MY PHYSCIAN, I GO THROUGH OUR LOCAL LSU CHARITY HOSPITAY, AND THE ONLY WAY TO TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR IS TO JUST GO TO THE E.R., AND THEN HOPE THEY GIVE YOU AN EARLY APPOINTMENT, NOT ONE THAT IS 4 MONTHS AWAY, BECAUSE YOUR PCP ONLY SEES YOU EVERY 3 MONTHS.

As a retired surgeon with more than thirty years experience in clinical surgery and medical education, I would like to suggest the following key ingredients necessary for revamping the American health care system.
1) Universal Health Care structured as an extension of the Medicare program. Such care should be affordable but not free. A graduated premium linked to taxable income should be set. Wealthy taxpayers should expect to pay more. Poor people may not pay at all. Working people could have their premium withheld from their regular paycheck. Participation in the program would be optional but within set parameters. Choice of physician would be determined by the individual.
2) Physicians would be allowed a defined period to opt into or stay out of the program.
3) Undergraduate and graduate medical education should be subsidized to an appreciable extent, depending on financial status and wish of the student. In return, graduating physicians would be obligated to serve one to two years in national service. For graduating medical students, such time and service could be structured to count as time spent in specialty training.
4) Pharmaceutical companies should have to compete on a global basis for providing drugs to patients in the program. The health care agency would have the right to negotiate internationally for lowest prices.
5) Medical liability must be brought under control for the system to work.. Participating physicians would in effect be government employees. As such they should be entitled to some protection from excessive litigation and judgments.
6) Private insurance companies would have only a marginal role in the system as most citizens would not need a separate policy. Programs such as “Medicare HMO’s” would not be acceptable

I am a person living with lupus and asthma who, after two years on leave from teaching 700 kids a week and trying to build a business, is left with no choice but to return to that job solely because it is the only means of insuring me and my whole family. Doing that job also puts me in the hospital yearly. Sadly, the fact is that the only job that pays me to be deathly ill is also the one that puts me in the hospital annually, and out of commission for 6-8 weeks of the year. In addition, if I don't drop my business and return to the job that threatens my life, I won't be insurable at all once the COBRA runs out.
Leaving people with pre-existing health conditions literally "uninsurable" (and/or tied to jobs they can no longer do because of their illnesses) in this country today is unconscionable. The sad fact is that in the US people without serious health conditions conditions are "free" to work wherever and for however long they want, while also not recognizing that if they do end up on the unlucky end of the Roulette wheel and get sick, they can be ruined financially and end up homeless in weeks, not to mention uninsurable for life; people who are sick are forced to either work at jobs they can't physically do without risking life and limb day-to-day, and the lucky few people who happen to be well and also have health plans through their workplaces don't realize until something happens how broken our health care system is, until something happens to them or someone they love.

It is time for radical change in our healthcare system that will benefit EVERYONE. No more insurance companies, no more red tape. Care for all. Thank you

I totally support President Elect, Barrack Obama's National Health Care Plan. This type of system is long overdue in this the greatest democracy and richest country in the world. Our past leaders should be ashamed of themselves. Hillary Clinton should have had the support for her National plan back when she was First Lady!

I am a 33 year old wife and mother. I work a full time job and I am lucky to work for a company that offers what many would consider a very good benefits package. However, with the American economy in the shape it's in right now, I'm definitely worried about my job security and what would happen if my family were suddenly left without health insurance. America needs universal coverage and we should not beg for it. WE SHOULD DEMAND IT!!! I'm sure I'm not alone when I look at my budget and realize we barely have enough take home to "just pay the bills". With hugely increasing costs of insurance premiums, co-pays, and deductibles, just "getting by" is getting increasingly more difficult. I'm certainly willing to pay more in taxes if that means I don't have to worry about losing my house if someone in my household ends up hospitalized.

Human right.
Justice for all, We have a right, One of those rights are taken away from us ,the right of having access to health care. The insurance companies and their allies took that right away from ,that is wickedness ,heartless,grid,grid,grid as hell.Shame on them all seeing people die because they can not afford to go to hospital. just like the case of that little boy that died of infected tooth, his blood will be on their head.

Support HR676, but don't be fooled by the Health Care for American Now (HCAN) or the Barak Obama Health Care plan
They are Democratic Party leadership scams to protect the insurance companies by creating a health care system that will irritate the hell out of you and will easily fail. If the Democratic Party controls the Senate, House & President next year, why can't we finally have real health care reform.
Universal National Health care will only work if it is single payer and the blood sucking for profit insurance industry is removed from making the decisions about our health care.
HR676 and CA SB840 are excellent bills already available, but need your support. HR676 has over 70 House sponsors. CA legislature has repeatedly passed SB 840, but Governor Schwarzenegger has threatened to veto SB 840 again on the grounds that "healthcare is not a right."
Would you want insurance companies running your public school system and deciding what education your child would be allowed to have or not have based on their profit margin.
The Government run Medicare system has been far and away a more efficient and cost effective health system for senior citizens. It only exists because senior citizens were not profitable for the private sector. Yet they are trying to privatize parts of it where ever they can milk a profit. Look at what a mess they are doing to Seniors with the new privatized prescription system. This is Senior citizen abuse!!!
How can this HCAN succeed when it is set up to promote the insurance companies by letting them keep the profits of those who can afford to pay for insurance while the tax payer picks up the bill for the poor.
Doesn't it sound like the $7oo billion Wall Street bailout, the Savings & Loan bailout, the privatiztion of our social, military and National securtiy systems, where the private sector keeps the profits and saddles the public with the risks and its losses!
Don't let this Trojan Horse HCAN ruin our best chance for real health care reform. Didn't we learn anything from the so called Clinton Health care reform movement that evolved into our current super health care disaster where the private sector is sucking us financially dry while destroying many of those who desparately need real health care!

How much would you pay for just one more day of life, when you know you will die tomorrow? How much would you pay for a mediciation that will stop your childs pain? The United States of America, unlike any country in the world has placed a price tag on the quality of life for you, your children and all americans. If we can stand to be the greatest country in the world, let us implement a socliaized medicine policy that will be the best in the world. Let us take back our country from greed and coruption that has crippled the morals and meaning of life for our fellow Americans.

I'm only 38, a lawyer, and have a family of four. I have tried a high-deductible HSA plan for two yours, with all the tax benefits thereof. The result - I'm going slowly broke, have no savings, and owe taxes. $12,000 of dental expenses, on top of the $5300 in health insurance premiums make all the tax credits offered a ridiculous joke. Also, doctors and hospitals have no clue what the services they render cost. So much for the "free market." My health, or lack of it, should not be the foundation for someone else's profit.

I'm a first year medical student and I intend to talk to as many people in my sphere of influence as possible about the Single Payer plan in Congress. The proposal is not well known outside of the medical world, and even within, most people i've talked to are unaware that such a bill exists. I hope that, when I graduate medical school, we will have at least brought this solution for the United States health care crisis to the attention of American voters, so that everyone is aware of the reform physicians are rallying behind to better serve their patients.

We need Medical Insurance Coverage and Health Care for all. With this bad economy we need it even more. My son lost his job months ago and is still on unemployment. Now his Medical Coverage is running out. This is also sad for my grandchildren. And the cost to purchase Medical Insurance keeps going higher and higher.
We need Medical Insurance Coverage and Health Care for all. Thank You.

My Husband and I own a small business and we currently pay 100% for our employees Blue Cross/Blue Shield health insurance. The costs go up every year. We had a 32% increase for 2008. An 18% increase for 2007. I may have to request a share from my employees for 2009. I cannot in good conscience not offer this benefit even though most of my competitors do not offer this.

I Am a post kidney transplant recipient whose medicare will end after 36 months of transplant. This will give me an enormous amount of stress since the medications are extortionate and life long along with the fact that no-one will insure me or the many others in the same situation as me due to our pre-existing circumstances. Lots of help needed for us all. Human life should be number one priority and everyone deserves health coverage

Despite our arrogance we constantly come bottom or near bottom on the list of industrialized countries around the world that provide health care. We are supposedly the richest, most wonderful country in the world and we can't provide health care for our citizens?! It's a national disgrace and makes us the laughing stock of other nations. But it is so not funny. It's time we stopped spending vast sums on "defense" and turned our attention, and funds, to taking care of the many problems we have right here at home.

The absence of universal health care in the U.S. (supposedly such a great country!) is a national disgrace — shameful and inhumane. Why is our tax money used for war, for corporate tax breaks and "bail-outs", for bridges to nowhere, for everything but the basic human right of health care? This is a crime against humanity.

To put all 303,800,000 in one risk pool--the healthyan dthe sick, the old and the young, all ethnicities and "races"--is simple common sense. The larger the risk pool, the lower the cost--and taking out the obligation of private companies to make a profit just allows more money to go into actual health care. Please check out the Physicians for a National Health Program (www.pnhp.org) for a look at the current broken system from inside.

I've always worried about the people out there with no coverage but I thought my husband and I were safe because we do. He is about to start receiving treatment for Hepatitis C and I'm scared to death him having insurance is not going to be enough. We live paycheck to paycheck as it is. What a relief it would be to not have to worry about our health bankrupting us.
