Petition already signed.

Here is one to look, read and sign.

LINK: to Dennis Kucinich's Petition

http://healthcare.kucinich.us/petition/

The Petition:

A PETITION ESTABLISHING
HEALTH CARE AS A CIVIL RIGHT

Whereas, Universal Health Care was proposed by President Teddy Roosevelt in 1912; and

Whereas today, nearly 100 years later, 47 million Americans are uninsured and another 50 million are underinsured bringing great social and economic harm to the American family; and

Whereas, HR 676, authored by Congressmen John Conyers and Dennis Kucinich provides for Medicare for All, a universal, single payer, not-for-profit health care system which means the end of premiums, copays and deductibles; and

Whereas we are already paying for a universal standard of care but are not getting it because one of every three dollars in the health care system goes to the activities of the for-profit insurance system; and

Whereas HR676 firmly establishes health care as a Civil Right, consistent with the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States and Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution which defines a purpose of government "to promote the General Welfare," now therefore,

I HEREBY EXPRESS MY STRONG SUPPORT FOR HR676, SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE, AND THE PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMIC JUSTICE FOR WHICH IT STANDS:

TY, Tierney.

Remember, all you doubters! Just this one clause. CONFLICT OF INTEREST! We need to become very agressive in finding out who in government has this conflict of interest. Today on CNN< Rick Sanchez did indeed look at that in re: More troops in Afg. We need this look out at everry bend. CNN calls it folowing the money!!!!

"I wish I knew the difference between single paper and public option."

Carmen...

With Single Payer:
Everyone is included (like Medicare for all), mandatory required by taxes, choice of doctors, no competition between public and private insurance companies, everyone shares the cost, reduced risk of insurance lobby and more.

With Public Option:
Not everyone included (some unable to afford it), choice of doctors, can buy into public plan, keep private insurance or be uninsured, competition between public & private insurance companies and more.

Single Payer (HR 676) is the best way to go. However, congress does not support it. Public Option is 2nd best but can be watered down to the point where we will be worse off than now. You are correct to support both these plans and stress we don't want a watered down Public Option.
