The industry and its backers are using fear tactics—as they did in 1994—to tar a transparent and publicly accountable healthcare option as "government-run healthcare." But what we have today, Mr. Chairman, is Wall Street-run healthcare that has proven itself an untrustworthy partner to its customers, to the doctors and hospitals who deliver care and to the state and federal governments that attempt to regulate it.

Bernie Sanders' The Health Care Crisis Letters from Vermont and America[pdf]




Jul 9, '09. Audio of Senator BernieSanders talking with John Elliot.



Thu, 23.Jul.2009 | 05:27:17PM from Bill Moyers Journal
What [President Obama] has essentially advocated is throwing more money into the current system. He's treating the symptom and he's not treating the underlying cause of our problem. Our problem is that we spend two and a half times as much per person on health care as the average of other advanced countries, and we don't get our money's worth. So, now he says, 'Okay, this is a terribly inefficient, wasteful system. Let's throw some money into it.' - Marcia Angell

[President Obama would] like to be able to pull a rabbit out of a hat, but he won't be able to. What he's running into is a tension between increasing costs and increasing coverage. If you leave this profit oriented system in place, you can't both control costs and increase coverage. You inevitably, if you try to increase coverage, increase costs. Or if you try to control cost, you decrease coverage.You cannot have a separation between those two things. Cost and coverage must move together.” - Trudy Lieberman

Rep. Anthony Wiener will move to amend the Tri Committee Bill to essentially replace it with HR 676 (Meaning medicare for all would replace everything currently on the table. Yah!). Obviously this is a huge step and a BIG PUSH is needed urgently. Read about it here.

So many people clicked in such a short time, that some of you were unable to get through. The IT genius behind Health Justice, Ken, is working now to fix the problem, but it may mean an expensive upgrade in our service to keep this rate up.

In any case, you should know that we have now sent over 205,000 faxes supporting single payer Medicare For All to Congress. So don't stop now. Keep up the pressure.

Here is a list of faxes you can send to your legislators, all free,all easy to edit and easy to send.



MUST SEE: If you are like me you'll go through all 7 stages of grief, hopefully ending in making you more active.

Congressman Anthony Weiner [NY 14], will introduce a single-payer amendment similar to HR 676 to the House Energy and Commerce Committee's portion of the tri-committee healthcare legislation. Call Chairman Henry Waxman at 202-225-3976 and ask him to vote YES on the amendment.

From Democracy Now! Baucus to Meet with Single-Payer Advocates After months of protests, Democratic Sen. Max Baucus has agreed to meet with a delegation of leading single-payer national health plan advocates on Wednesday [3 Jun]. Baucus chairs the Senate Finance Committee and plays a key role in the debate over reforming the healthcare system. He has repeatedly said a single-payer system is off the table and has iced out single-payer advocates from committee hearings.

Reno Virtual Rally! Now through 1 June. See the calendar page for details. Questions? Check the resources below for information.

Bernie Sanders calls for grassroots movement for National Healthcare


Ed Schultz calls for Dems who don't vote for *National* Healthcare to be voted out.
Now that Republicans are on the run, it's time to go after corrupt Democrats who are in the pocket of big business, like the ones who said they would filibuster with Reps over National Healthcare: they are doing that because they get money from big pharma and insurance companies, proving they are not members of the so-called, "Party of the People."
