Start listening to the Citizens of the US and stop listening to the "unHealth" insurance companies. ********** [114901:021810] R.M., Pahoa, HI The most important thing to emphasize right now is "Single Payer", NOT Public Option. Public Option is a farce. Single Payer is the ONLY decent addition to be made to any Health Care Reform. Please, let us not fool ourselves or each other. ********** [045858:012510] J.C., New York, NY Why oh why did a president so full of promise and hope blow it? ********** [081345:122309] E.S., Buford, GA I support a strong public option especially to compete with the for profit insurance companies. ********** [144200:101609] S.M., Jacksonville, FL I'm caught in the middle! ...not quite old enough for Medicare, and not young enough for affordable health insurance. After being laid off from Bank of America, the cost to stay with the Corporate plan for me and my son was over $1300/month! And most of that money is wasted overhead.profits to the medical industry. How did this happen? It's called corporate greed. I'm just one of the millions seeking affordable health care. We need single payer health care NOW. I beg you to support a single payer health care system. It's the only option that will meet the needs of all Americans and at the same time eliminate the costly overhead of so much paper waste. Please support this sytem ********** [040732:101409] j.c., New Orleans, LA single payer is the only way to secure that everyone is equal in the health care reform. if we call ourselves a free america, then single payer is the choice to prove that americans are truely free! ********** [025340:101409] C.R., Madras, OR It is way past time for the passage of a healthcare system that will serve ALL US citizens, not just the wealthy. A one payer system is the way to go. No one should be denied medical help in this country because they cannot afford high insurance premiums. Insurance companies should not have the final say on who gets treatment for what and no one should be denied treatment for legitimate ills. We need single payer coverage NOW! ********** [201107:101109] H.I., Torrance, CA Pass single payer health now! A co- op is for a niche market, Defeat the insurance, drug, WS, and 'K' Street Lobbyists! ********** [071534:100809] P.H., Orange, CA Single payer healthcare is the right thing to do. At least give us the public option. The same that you have had the priveledge of using, being our legislator. Lobbyists should not have a louder voice than the people that have elected you. Stop listening to them. Thank you. ********** [190242:100709] D.K., Roswell, GA Coverage for all is the only answer. Please help us get this. Thank you. ********** [125612:100409] l.m., Cheyenne, WY Those in the highest office must be held accountable for their actions. ********** [125517:100109] J.P., Bronx, NY A single payer health care system is absolutely necessary in the USA so every American can have the human right of health care. ********** [125509:100109] J.P., Bronx, NY Max Baucus needs to stop thinking about himself and start helping the American people reform healthcare. ********** [030233:093009] D.S., Ormond Beach, FL When 45,000 Americans die needlessly every year because they lack health care and health care costs bankrupt approx. 3 million more, aren't we doing something wrong? Coverage for all is the only answer. ********** [071254:092909] C.V., Mount Holly, NJ Single-payer with a lifetime electronic record of each American citizen is the only way to go. Insurance companies have been "nickle-and-diming" the public for decades, looking for ways to weasel out of paying for services their "insured" thought they had bought. Why do they oppose electro-med so much? Because that would end denial of service for failure to fully report all medical issues in one's lifetime (how the hell is someone supposed to remember rosacea at age two or age 92)? Trusting one's healthcare to corporate bodies whose nature is inherently psychotic in UNAMERICAN! ********** [230923:092809] L.P., Los Angeles, CA Instead of the insurance industry reps, you should think of us the voting public as your lobbyists for the public commons: our education, safety, development, environment and HEALTH! Our votes are STILL the ones that decide your jobs, you will remember! ********** [074148:092809] C.C., Woodland Park, CO Its ridiculous that big corporations have more rights than US citizens. Proper health care should be a right of every citizen, not just the wealthy ones. ********** [114121:092609] M.P., Boston, MA It would serve all Americans if we were covered using a single payer system ending the majority of the problems our system is facing with so many people going to the emergency care who are uncovered and the general abuse of our system. ********** [113855:092609] K.M., Van Nuys, CA Pass Single Payer Health Care. It's the only right thing to do. ********** [190747:092509] D.G., Annapolis, MD We know that the most efficient approach is "single payer". Please help move toward the most efficient system so that we can have the best system in this United States. ********** [091826:092409] E.K., Summit, AR Obama wants to force people to purchase an insurance policy they cannot afford. All that does is make the insurance companies richer. Most policies I have looked at do not pay for things that people really need. I believe that letting the Medical field be in competition would be a better way to go. ********** [051847:092309] E.C., Northbrook, IL PLEASE THINK OF THE PUBLIC FIRST AND VOTE FOR SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE NOW. WE MUST CARE MORE FOR THE PUBLIC WELFARE THAN OUR OWN POCKETBOOKS, ESPECIALLY IF WE ARE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE. ITS TIME WE PUT THE PUBLIC FIRST. ********** [072636:092209] S.J., Tucson, AZ Although I have insurance through my company, a recent layout showed me that that can go away in a instant, and it is almost impossible to get new insurance or it is prohibitively high. The American people need this for primary or as a backup just incase something else happens to their employers or their jobs. Stop being elitist and do what is needed for the citizens of this country! ********** [124640:091909] L.D., Chicago, IL We need to cover everyone! Only single payer insurance will do that. Let's get it done now. We need to learn, as the rest of the world has, to take care of each other. ********** [185327:091809] T.B., Nipomo, CA I would like to urge you to please support hr 676 single payer health care.It seems to be the most logical solution to reform the health care system in our country.I am one of the millions of uninsured in this country due to the high cost and the insurance industries ability to pick and choose who they will insure.Since I am self employed I don't have many options.I have heard all the arguments against the type of system but it all seems to be coming from those that profit from the current system. I think it is time that we catch up to the rest of the developed country's in the world and do what's right. Sincerely,Tomothy Broberg. ********** Go Back
