Health care "reform"? Up to you.
Don't let Congress force everyone to buy the same old lousy health insurance policies from useless
for-profit middlemen! Health care "reform" can mean anything. What we get depends on what YOU ask for from Congress and the president. Toll free number (ask for Cantwell, Murray or your congressional representative) 1-866-220-0044 White House Hotline 1-202-456-1414
Plan A--demand single payer universal health care (HR 676/1200, S 703)
Plan B--demand a public option like single payer that anyone can choose
Single payer legislation (HR 676, HR 1200, S 703) meets the following conditions. Any public option must do so as well,
If we have to have private plans in addition to a public option, we must demand that private insurers be better regulated than they are now so that the public option does not become a financially crippled dumping ground for unprofitable patients. Minimum regulations for private plans must include requirements
