Healthcare-NOW!

Healthcare-NOW! "Two weekends ago, after the bait and switch of a vote on single-payer
for a vote on an anti-abortion amendment, we feel wizened to the
possibility of unknown threats in the legislative churn on health
reform."

For those of us old enough to have lost friends to backroom legal abortions, there is no question that the right to a safe, legal abortion is a public health issue. Somehow, the man's part in this is strictly voluntary.

Healthcare-NOW! The House passed H.R. 3962, the Affordable
Health Care for America Act, to much celebration by the Democratic
party. Healthcare-NOW!’s view, however, is that the House bill
is a gift to the insurance industry at the further expense of the
people of this nation.

@Don I think you hit the nail squarely on the head. We don't want to spend equal to what we are already spending which is unsustainable.

With structural adjustments, we can spend considerably less per capita on health care than we do now and achieve universal coverage.

The key of course is decoupling insurance with employment, reducing administrative costs (more broadly those costs associated with a for-profit enterprise) and focusing more resources on prevention.... Read More

I also agree it is to little to late. Promulgating this flawed plan five years from now is purely political.
What a travesty to live in a society that doesn't have a system in place to dedicate resources for basic, universal, permanent, portable, quality health care.

We hear so little about the need to separate health coverage from employment. That is the key to effective, affordable health care.

Healthcare-NOW! On Veterans Day, a new study estimates four times as many US Army
veterans died last year because they lacked health insurance than the
total number of US soldiers who were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan in
the same period.

Follow the money. There is no reason the VA should be underfunded.
Every veteran should get full health benefits. That's what they get promised before they enlist. They should get it after they serve.

They need to talk about single payer. How can you know what's good and bad about an idea if you refuse to discuss it.

I totally agree. They know it is the best option though and that's why they don't want to discuss it.

Thank you to those of you on the front lines. We must have reform and reform now. Making Medicare available to all just makes sense.

Apple, Inc. has censored an iPhone application called iSinglePayer because they say it's "politically charged." The app allows users to learn about single-payer healthcare and contact their Representative.

Apple has approved political applications like "Conservative Talking Points," so why censor a single-payer healthc...are application?

Call or email Apple PR now and tell them to stop censoring single-payer voices and approve the iSinglePayer iPhone App.
