Ask your Senator and Congressperson how much money they pay for health insurance.It will make you ill! They don't pay very much and have great insurance. Why can't everyone have that kind of insurance???

I agree with my friend Judy Wright as well as what many of you had to say. We live in one of the richest countries in the world and yet we cannot afford to have reasonable health care for our people?!! Insurance companies are paying millions of dollars to put out misinformation and fear about health care reform, paying their leaders countless millions of to decline as many people as possible, while the uninsured and even many working people are not able to afford insurance.

20 years ago I would never have believed that people in America could actually be dying because we had not made health care reform a priority.Must we go another 20 years before Congress wakes up?

Something is very wrong with this picture. Why are certain politicians protecting the insurance companies? Could the powerful lobbyists have anything to do with their decisions? Let's keep track of how our representatives are voting on health care issues, and vote out those who say "No" to meaningful reform.... See More

I hope and I pray that Obama and the men and women in Congress who claim to represent their constinuents really listen to the people. We want meaningful Health Care Reform which includes the public option, and we want it Now!

@ Sheira: Yes, it is a problem. From what I understand...When one clicks, "Allow All Access," it overrules your privacy settings for that selection...
FB is constantly changing permissions...these days more than ever it is easy for a group to have its data "turned over" to another group...one of which the original group members have no knowledge.

put the pressure on your representatives and senators to keep women's health care in the public health care bill. Fewer and fewer women are dying each year because of early detection. Let's keep it going for the sake of the whole society.
