Our effort to tell President-Elect Obama that single payer is the answer for health care reform has been met with remarkable success. More than 8,300 people have gone to http://johnconyers.com/transition to tell their story about why single payer is essential health care reform. Have you?



Tell Obama: Single Payer Is The Answer
President-elect Obama has asked for guidance from ordinary citizens on health care. He has set up a form on his transition website to solicit ideas. Now is our chance to demonstrate the widespread support across the country for single payer health care.
Explain to president-elect Obama that single payer health care, is the best solution for the country because it would:
Create a publicly-financed, privately-delivered universal health care program covering all Americans;
Cover all medically-necessary services without charging co-pays or deductibles;
Eliminate profit from our health care delivery system.

1. K&R

Single-payer healthcare is the answer. It's the only pro-life choice, as it will save 100,000 lives per year.

And for you nazi lurkers, since the following is the only thing you care about, it's the only way U.S. businesses will be able to be competitive, since they would no longer be dragged down by healthcare costs.

2. Only 8300?. .There should be HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS..

Everyone in this country either has had a problem with their insurance or knows someone with a problem with their coverage...

this seems to be such a pathetic number...

5. I was just going by the information in te OP.

One of the most serious bones I have to pick with the Obama people is that I don't like what I've seen of their health are ideas. I think maybe they had to stay acceptable to the insurance companies in order to get elected, but the recent actions smell like a sellout.

8. Everything smells like a sellout to the DU crowd.

I'm telling you, it's something the cats left under the couch.

6. There will be another national call your Congress critters day January 15

the objective of which will be to support HR 676, which is an extension of Medicare benefits, as a strategic step toward Single Payer.

There was a national call Congress day Monday Dec 22 and there will be another on January 15.
