I'm against excessive profit made by insurance companies and for increased communication and coordination of care between physicians. ********** [074938:101509] C.A., Hermosa Beach, CA vote = Yes Medicare for all. We need Health CARE reform, not Health Insurance "Reform". ********** [084133:101209] J.A., Woodstock, GA vote = Yes It is becoming ever more obvious that this is what the country NEEDS. Simply, private insurance is failing as a feasible solution to the current economic and health crises that are plaguing our nation. MEDICARE FOR ALL! ********** [161744:093009] M.D., Longwood, FL vote = Yes I am an American citizen, born and raised in the United States. I lived for 15 years in the UK and saw the benefits of a National Health System, working for the Department of Social Services with CHildren with Disabilities and for Elders in the Community. I never saw anyone of any age deprived of healthcare of any kind. It is a shame that here in the US our disabled or sick children have to hope they can rely on the charity of a few private hospital organizations such as Shriners or St Jude's so that they can receive medical care. It is also a shame that the US bankrupts families simply because they need healthcare. We need a National Health System for America paid for out of taxes--perhaps placed on the untaxed amount of the over-$100,000-income-sector which is currently not taxed for Social Security. We need tax-funded Medicare/Medicaid for all NOW. ********** [155647:093009] a.g., Aquasco, MD vote = Yes we have given you, the representatives and senators, the power to do what is right and what should have been done long ago ********** [155209:093009] H.A., Asheville, NC vote = Yes I, like so many other Americans, find it personally insulting that the only heath care "reform" bills under serious consideration would help insurance companies, while crippling low income families with mandatory insurance coverage and fines for those not covered. Once again our government has abandoned us in favor of greedy corporate fat cats. The only option that will truly help Americans is a single payer system, such as the one this bill proposes. ********** [154510:093009] D.S., Elkhart, IN vote = Yes Dear Representatives, As an ELECTED OFFICIAL, township trustee in Elkhart County I daily see numerous individuals and families struggling to pay for healthcare and medication. I know this is an issue for MILLIONS of American citizens. I urge you to support health care reform NOW. If we can spend BILLIONS on wars we can spend just as much on taking care of OUR citizens in this country. I am an ACTIVE PROUD DEMOCRAT-- DO NOT PUT MY SUPPORT FOR OUR DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATORS IN JEOPARDY IN THE NEXT ELECTION! A NO VOTE ON THIS LEGISLATION MEANS A NO VOTE FROM ME WHEN IT IS TIME FOR YOUR RE-ELECTION!! ********** [153617:093009] D.H., Sacramento, CA vote = Yes We need this bill signed into law, and we needed it many years ago! ********** [142934:093009] R.B., Helena, MT vote = Yes I have been waiting for someone like Michael Moore to get the attention of Congress on health care reform. Members, like my home state senator, Max Baucus, who think they can be lap dogs to the health insurance and pharmaceutical companies that have picked our pockets for years had better re-think their position. Americans want real health care reform. Ideally, that would be Medicare-for-all-----or at an absolute minimum, a strong public option that is available to everyone, and that is the ONLY option available to Senators and Congressmen. ********** [135115:093009] J.K., Winter Haven, FL vote = Yes I am tired of having administrators, not doctors make decisions about my familly's healthcare. Just yesterday, I went to get recommended vaccinations for my 3 year old daughter. The only vaccinations that I could get contained the preservative thimerosal which I am severly allergic. My Doc recommended she not have the shot because she could have a reaction as wel,l since she has allergic tendencies. I asked for her to prescribe thimersol free vaccinations. She told me that the hospital would not approve that even though THE FDA RECOMMENDS THIMERSOL FREE VACCINATIONS FOR HER AGE GROUP. The bought and paid for congressmembers call this choice??? I call it greed, If I didn't have young children to care for I would be in Washington knocking on doors. Single Payer healthcare where DOCTORS make the call is the only way to go. God help us all if the Insurance companies win. ********** [132117:093009] G.C., Long Beach, CA vote = Yes Congress should pass H. R. 676 which would extend Medicare to all individuals residing in the USA. All would receive high quality and affordable health care services from the physicians of their choice with no restrictions on what providers they could visit. Why should government representatives receive quality medical services while restricting access to their constituents? It is time to protect US citizens from the fear of bankruptcy caused by high medical bills. Pass H. R 676 now! ********** [131107:093009] P.C., San Jose, CA vote = Yes Do What's Right not what will get you the votes. Take a stand for something that is needed and wanted by the people you were elected by. ********** [125822:093009] E.F., Marion, IA vote = Yes We the Little People of the United States of America would be voiceless without people like Michael Moore who have the ability, interest, concern, and intellect to speak out for us. My family feels like "Whos" in Dr. Seuss' Whoville" we are shouting, there are millions of us but Michael Moore is elephant who can hear us, but society/government doesn't want to listen to Michael. I heard CNN say in response to Michael's message "on the street" to Anderson Cooper that Michael is amusing, and appreciated but not on target about how many people want a one payer system, or, that there is any hope of it happening - LISTEN UP! Michael Moore is speaking for the MAJORITY of VOICELESS AMERICANS. It is not enough to VOTE! A vote does not give a person a VOICE in politics. Those days are over as politics and DC become more and more corrupt. Doubt it? Read the new book out about the Clinton Tapes - recorded secretly while he was in the White House 8 years. When you hear all of the events strung together all at once (versus spread out of 8 years) you see the obvious pattern of the politicians who sought to bring him down and they are doing the same thing to Obama but this time more people are watching, and it is dirtier politics than ever before. And, anyone who says an alarming percent of the population of whites (Dem and Rep or neither) are not in touch with racial tension in the U.S. or the world. It is only the ignorant who can say there are no race issues in this country, and if you say there are, then, only a fool would proclaim to go so far to admit this and deny there is a racist undertone to the undermining of this president. If this president were white, and being attacked for the "issues" as Obama is, and having death threats, personal attacks via public demonstrations againts him (and his family by proxy), we would be seeing those people being arrested on TV. Hm? SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT NOW - Michael Moore has proven his ability to "predict" the future (if he must) when we look back at what he has said. He is not a "seer" he is an example of what everycitizen should be - a responsible person who is PAYING ATTENTION and using his [her] voice to the degree he [they] are able. We the Little People Who are being ignored are fed up. Government - you are not listening to us! ********** [120200:093009] J.C., Carpentersville, IL vote = Yes Just got word my Grandmother may have cancer. While she is covered through medicare there are many in the same situation that aren't. Support this bill or be voted out of office, and believe me when I say that's the least that can happen to you. Your soul may be at stake. God bless. ********** [111353:093009] L.F., Lemon Grove, CA vote = Yes It sickens me that congress is ignoring the people of this countries wishes for health care. Quit being afraid to lose your next election and do what you were elected to do NOW! Quit protecting the insurance companies and start protecting the citizens of this country. Laurie Fellwock ********** [101428:093009] T.H., Sarasota, FL vote = Yes Pass H.R. 676 - please!!!! I am a 39 year old mother and wife. I have been unable to purchase healthcare due to a pre-existing condition, I have not seen a doctor in over 5 years due to costs. Unfortunately, I am not alone. There are people who are extremely ill, some even DYING because they cannot affort health care. It is very tragic to me that this country, my country, does not have universal healthcare coverage. I believe that the insurance industry lobbyists are doing a wonderul job of keeping it that way. I am a registered voter and will make certain to vote for the next representative in office who will make this a priority if you choose not to. Thank you ********** [095100:093009] L.G., Orlando, FL vote = Yes Health care in the United States should not be a concern of any of our citizens. It is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE that there are other countries in the world that are able to provide their citizens with a national health care program and the U.S. cannot. WE NEED A NATIONAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM NOW!!!!!!!!!How much money are we spending for our military in case someone might want to attack us? Shouldn't we spend some of that money on people who are being attacked by illnesses and diseases right now? Thank you. ********** [095050:093009] t.n., Olympia, WA vote = Yes In this country, we are all being held hostage to someone's profit line and greed. I believe that health care for profit is a bad idea. The reality is that we are allowing people to die or live lives negatively impacted by health issues so a few people can make money. That, in my book is immoral. We must have single payer public health care in this country. We must end the insurance companies strangle hold on our lives. ********** [094009:093009] m.w., Henderson, NV vote = Yes My mother is 60 yrs old and can't afford health care. We need to do something about this NOW! I want my mom to be around to watch her grandkids grow up but without routine checkups and basic healthcare her chances are slim. PLEASE DO SOMETHING NOW> ********** [092609:093009] J.C., Encinitas, CA vote = Yes We desparately need improved access to health care. I am an RN in Oncology and I see Americans evreyday who cannot afford the treatment they need. The time isn NOW! ********** [083953:093009] N.M., Phillipsburg, NJ vote = Yes Please fight for the American people to have universal healthcare. It is mind boggling that our wonderful country has such a poor standing in the world when it comes to healthcare. This is a must and urgent! ********** [082532:093009] M.D., Placerville, CA vote = Yes VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLARS If Congress does not pass real healthcare reform, I recommend all businesses and individuals cancel their profit health care insurance policies immediately to put an end to thIS nightmare for patients and healthcare providers. ********** [081745:093009] C.B., Fort Collins, CO vote = Yes To whom it may concern: I have never been involved in politics until this past year. This is my fault. I am not going to write some drastic, ranting message to all of those that have the opportunit to vote for change when it comes to healthcare. However, I will say this, I am extremely passionate when it comes to universal healthcare, and I am convinced a single-payer option is the solution. If a healthcare bill doesn't pass with this in it, I will consider this a tragedy, and I will do whatever I can to make sure the next representatives voted into office makes this a top priority. To all those politicians that are more concerned about protecting multi-billion dollar health insurance profits, your terms in office will end in the near future. The current bill that is going to pass will not suffice. My best, Chris Bryson ********** [081734:093009] L.P., Los Angeles, CA vote = Yes I have a healthy 23 year-old college graduate back at home, working 2 part time jobs, paying for his own medical coverage with large deductibles and co-pays, and unable in this economy to land a full-time job with medical benefits. Instead, he could be a part of an expanded Medicare for All program. His premiums and minimal use of health care would help to balance out both of his grandmothers' (86 and 91) much more frequent medically necessary use of the health care system. ********** Go Back
