The US health care system is supported by employers, individuals, and the State and Federal governments. In the midst of this economic recession, revenue has decreased for employers, leading to layoffs and reduced health care coverage.

Follow the Money on Health Care Reform "Right now we are the only nation on earth that barters human life for money." -- Geri Jenkins, RN, co-president of the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee in her testimony Wednesday, in the one Congressional hearing at which single payer has been on the table


Remember, NO COMPROMI$E ... EVERYONE IN and NO ONE LEFT OUT!!!

Here's how our President Obama still feels about the Public Health Care Option in Health Care Reform ... he said this:

"I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care program." (applause) "I see no reason why the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world, spending 14 percent of its Gross National Product on health care cannot provide basic health insurance to everybody. And that's what Jim is talking about when he says everybody in, nobody out. A single payer health care plan, a universal health care plan. And that's what I'd like to see. But as all of you know, we may not get there immediately. Because first we have to take back the White House, we have to take back the Senate, and we have to take back the House."

Obama speaking to the Illinois AFL-CIO, June 30, 2003.

Because now that all those conditions that he mentioned in the last sentence have been met it is time to get the "single payer universal health care" he spoke about so passionately in the first sentence.

YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN!


Here's a video clip of Obama supporting universal health care in 2003:

Write to the President, every day to remind him that we'll back him up on keeping his promise to us all for health "care" not health in$urance:

Inaction, no action procrastination whatever you want to call it delays will just force more and more people into being uninsured and facing bankruptcy when they can't pay the bill they are presented with when leaving hospital.
How much sicker I would have felt in 1979 when being injured in a car accident I also had to worry about paying for the treatment etc. Thank goodness I was in Australia and fully covered by the medicare system for all medical expenses both in and out of the hospital
