Medicare for all

[SmileyRose]

Been a while since I posted this specifically on the DU but I still

Email it around the net every day
Post up the net every day
Pester the politicians every day
Pester the editors and news doggies every single day
Sticker in my car
Button on my shirt
Chat it up anywhere and everywhere.

Every single solitary day until we have it or I die.

2. I was hospitalized for 24 hr. observation last March.

I had 2 blood draws and was on an IV to re-hydrate. The bill was $7,000. I had a co-pay of a total of $30.00.

THANK GOODNESS FOR MEDICARE!!! I have no idea what I would have done otherwise.

Oh, and I had 3 not very good meals!

The Repukes are going after it in January.

4. +1

Each day, 273 people die due to lack of health care in the U.S.; that's 100,000 deaths per year.

We need single-payer health care, not a welfare bailout for the serial-killer insurance agencies.

We don't need the GingrichCare of mandated, unregulated, for-profit insurance that is still too expensive, only pays parts of medical bills, denies claims, bankrupts and kills people.

Republinazi '93 health care plan:

"Subtitle F: Universal Coverage - Requires each citizen or lawful permanent resident to be covered under a qualified health plan or equivalent health care program by January 1, 2005."

"We will never have real reform until people's health stops being treated as a financial opportunity for corporations."

"Any proposal that sticks with our current dependence on for-profit private insurers ... will not be sustainable. And the new law will not get us to universal coverage ...." -- T.R. Reid, The Healing of America

6. Glad to see you're using the current stats.

I'm tired of people saying it's only 40,000 people per year.
