It is time to pass legislation for single payer health care. The John Conyer's bill, H.R. 676, and California state senator Mark Leno's bill, SB 810, both need passage without being tampered with. It's time for our "representatives" to stop beating around the bush and pass these progressive bills for the benefit of the American people. It's time to downsize the insurance companies and cut the 31 % cost of healthcare for administrative paper shuffling.

It is a moral issue, where politicians are quick to fund money for death and destruction activities of the Pentagon and the CIA,, aka the military-industrial-complex, but to provide their constituents with medical treatment, they cry poverty.

My fellow citizens, President Obama said he wants a plan on healthcare by August, so please form groups in your communities and be VERY VOCAL with your political representatives demanding of them that We The People INSIST, this type of legislation be passed.

This ridiculous scam that single payer is too costly must be exposed. It works in other countries and it can work here.

Do we want "guns or butter?" Nobody should have to worry about being treated for an illness or a disease because you don't have coverage or a job. Helping our citizens stay healthy should be made loud and clear to our representatives.

May 30 march in Seattle for single payer.

Here is a new response to those who rail about the "waiting lists" in Canada for treatment (a myth). The real waiting list is the millions of Americans who are forced to wait to go to the doctor because they can't pay for it. Ah, the magic of the market! Yeah-- magic for the greedy bastards who take your money and don't give you anything back.

We didn't need a study to tell us that Americans are delaying getting the health care they need. A quick look around at emergency rooms will do.

Basic health should include homes, nutritious food, infant check-ups, prenatal care and so much more.

We have statistics that show our country is near the bottom of a list of all industrialized nations for good infant care. It's shocking that we don't object more. Maybe we need to hold daily protest demos in front of our hospitals?

It's long past time that this is corrected. There's just no excuse.

Tax the bailouts. How is it that CitiCorp and the big banks are showing a PROFIT this month? The states can tax these greedy companies, if they want.

Let's MAKE them!

The point of government, wedded to capitalism...is to protect the interests of the rich. The goal is to keep the common people down, threatened, sick, poor, and desperate for any pennies thrown their way. We are once again living thru a backlash....Robber Barons are in control....government in bed with business......they want to keep it that way. This is nothing new! The only new thing is that the common people are brainwashed with consumer candy to placate them into NOT rebelling. In the past, people rebelled when things got too terrible. The U.S. citizens won't rebel enmass anymore because most are asleep....sedated by stuff.....cheap junk stuff.

The sicker people are, the less likely they will be to have the energy or motivation to rebel. Turn to alternative health in whatever way you can. IF ONLY we could boycott the whole system....throw the mess out with the bathwater, starve them all!!!! IF ONLY.

A poll in my local paper showed 46% skipping or reducing meds and skimping on healthcare. I've had to get generic blood pressure meds from India since, as an unemployed worker, I have lost access to medical care. There is no reason beyond cynical slavery that access to medical care should be connected or tied to employment. Though the vast majority favor a single payer plan, I doubt we can get it from this administration because like its predecessors, it is underwritten by the insurance companies.
The Jaded Prole

The health care system is not designed to provide health care. It is designed to be profitable for the boss class.

People of the world can buy better but they can't pay more.
Why do Americans keep electing the same slave owners?

The system of Private insurance and for profit "health care" is extortion. It no different then someone coming down to break your knees of you dont pay your "protection money" with the only difference being the MOB is a heck of a lot more honest. At least if you pay them protection money thy dont look for ways to nail you for "pre existing Conditions".

As eight years of Bush/Cheney caused a landslide for Obama/Biden, so will four years, or possibly eight of Obama/Biden cause a third party to be elected. Obama is so the same as Bush; same cake, different icing that it has become obvious who is in charge: Big Corporations. They have the MSM mantra of "unions are bad for workers", so MS Amerika is losing the last bastion of defense, and bargaining that the American Worker had. Most jobs that helped pay healthcare costs were Union jobs. So, BEND OVER and get ready, because THEY are just getting all oiled up and ready to REALLY put IT to us. The Democrats won't nominate Kucinich or another like him so don't look for any kind of REAL change, and the Republicans are recognizably inept, so either of those two(one) parties are a hopeless dead end. And, forget about healthcare for all it can't even get legitimate air time. It died in the HOUSE, and I don't believe it was ever renewed. It doesn't exist except on alternative radio and the internet.

Hey guys lets promote a wildcat strike to get single payer back on the operating table.

Single payer SICK OUT... !!
