Organizing for America - Indiana

America can't wait until 2013 for a public option to be set-up. At least 80,000 Americans will die due to a lack of health insurance from now until then.

I support Anthony Weiner's amendment to HR 3200 and HR 676 to institute an improved Medicare for All. A single payer, government sponsored, national health insurance is the only way to cut down cost, give free choice to patients, and give ALL Americans health care.

And there's much more out there. The insurance companies have to go. A public option is only going to keep them in the system. No amount of regulations is going to stop them. They are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing. Making profit and minimizing losses. What is a loss? When a person gets sick and they have to pay for it, the HMO considers that a loss!

And guess what? When Medicare was set-up, it took 11 months to start treating Seniors. We could do the same thing and cover everybody by 2013 and the HMOs would be out! Isn't that what we all want? Okay, I'm exaggerating it's only a majority of Americans and doctors who want a single-payer, government sponsored, national health insurance.

I would prefer HR 676 - but if we have to accept a watered-down version, it better have a strong public option. Without that, any bill loses my support as it becomes merely a The Insurance Industry Profit Protection And Enhancement Act without anything to make health care more affordable for you and me.

This reminder was way late.

BOOOOOOO!

It should be noted that this opportunity is only available to those able to work in the Indianapolis area, according to the person I spoke with today. Volunteer opportunities exist at other field offices around the state.
