The health care decision-making process in Washington is horribly tainted by the campaign contributions of insurance and pharmaceutical interests. Under the pay-to-play system health care becomes insurance care, the public option shrinks to irrelevance,

NOW, is the time to enact real change. This healthcare bill is one of those rare times of late when YOU CAN re-create society, a time to stand up and do Y-OUR duty to the American People and the ideal of this Nation under God. Will you BE part of this sweeping Bill and be able to say that i stood up when many fell down?
After 8 years of the last admin. muscle flexing and undue pressure, etc. to vote the way they wanted you to, Do YOU not see this is your opportunity to do your duty?
DO you remember all the comprimising and wrought you had to endure ? Well, now is the time to get passionate and put together on paper the best Healthcare Bill (WE KNOW what that is)and DO the peoples WILL as the Newly formed, united and powerful Democratic party that was elected to EN-ACT Real Change for the PEOPLE.
I AM sure that there are many republicans who would love to say yeah on this bill, take a shot and JUST DO IT.:):):)or not.

My question to the Republican party is this :

Do you actually think that always voting AGAINST something, will do something FOR you ??? Especially on this ????

Does anyone really believe that the vast majority of the public is as stupid and uninformed as the media will have us believe on this Healthcare issue, lol. EVERYBODY PLEASE WAKE UP, ITS SMOKE i tell you.
And are we supposed to listen to some of these old stodgers that got us in this mess in the republican party? and then think that WE have forgotten that their party is WEAK and HURTING RIGHT NOW< LOL, with good reason. ARE YOU buying THIS??? What a joke ? :):):) The VAST MAJORITY are happy with the democratic healthcare reform plans, why are YOU giving listening to these folks who are just obstructions, they do not care about the people, so ignore them./; WE HAVE the power, lets use it.
Every bill does not have to be Bi-partisan. I AM SURE They will get on board after this Bill is PASSED. Lets get OUR priorities straight and do what the task at hand requires. ENOUGH TALK and delay tactics already, tHERE IS MUCH WORK TO BE DONE. l
LETS stop being fearful with these folks already, they are not playing nice, it is time to flex OUR muscle in a GOOD way.

ITS only been 8 months and alot of great things have been accomplished already and the best is coming, THAT IS THE TRUTH. IT IS my hope that WE CAN all snap out of it and REAL_ize that WE ARE BEING AND DOING IT :):):)

LETS HELP EACH OTHER and OUR President. IT IS OUR TIME .

Thank you, Cher (you WONDERFUL friend)!

From OpEd News:
 
Tonight, on the Rob Kall Bottom Up radio show, Dennis Kucinich, talking about health care as a human right, and Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, on the connection between the health care conversation and women's rights and needs.
 
Also, there'll be about a 2-25 minute stretch when I can take phone calls.That could mean you. I'm going to set this up in advance and give time slots. so send me an email about what you want to talk about. Maybe I'll send you the phone-in number.
 
Listen to the show from 9-10 PM EST tonight or online live at www.wnjc1360.com

Serge, much respect for your strength! (And you know I feel the same.)

We are living in confusing times. We are supposed to have "representatives," but (confusingly) they don't speak for us.

We have a President who promised "change" and "transparency," but he has become -- yet another -- mouthpiece for corporations.

What do we do now?

Democratic, human civil right, agreed... we should have rights when it comes to health care... and not giving it is an infrigement of our demorcratic right

There are basic requirements that should be a given for every person without exception: nutritious food, clean water, a safe environment, education, adequate shelter and health care. If we can do nothing else on this earth at least let us do this.

My daughter has been bleeding internally and in pain the ER doctor was going to do tests to see what was wrong until they found out she had no insurance then it was go home it is all in your head 3 days later still no change her doctor orders an ultra sound first the hospital loses the paperwork Now they will not do the ultra sound until she sees a financial counselor and if she doesn't qualify, will have to put up $100.00, if she can't do that, which because of missing work she is unable, then they will not do the test the doctor ordered
So basically she could bleed to death in the meantime I am livid and extremely upset this is why there needs to be a change NOW!!!!! please send prayers I/we do not know what else to do and something needs to be done asap
