Along the way, you kept working for and voting for those candidates and members of Congress until, at long last, after the 2008 elections they formed wide majorities.<br /> <br />Now, as that new majority drafts legislation designed to lower health care costs and provide coverage for all, wide swaths are on board for real health reform. But you deserve a commitment.<br /><br />Will your Senators support a meaningful public health insurance option? One that meets President Obama's goals of lowering cost and keeping the insurance industry honest?<br /><br />It is up to us to find out.<br /><br />Email your Senators the following four short, specific questions on where they stand on a public option. The link below takes you to a page that allows you to do just that:<br /> <br />http://www.standwithdrdean.com/WhipCount<br /> <br />We need clear, written responses from every Senator on where they stand on the public option. As a citizen and as an activist, you are entitled to answers. If they don't respond, keep asking. If they respond, but continue to be vague, keep asking them.<br /> <br />http://www.standwithdrdean.com/WhipCount<br /> <br />You elected this Congress. They answer to you.

It’s off...AMERICA’S NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY!<br /><br />It’s official. America and the World are now in a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. A World EPIDEMIC with potential catastrophic consequences for ALL of the American people. The first PANDEMIC in 41 years. And WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES will have to face this PANDEMIC with the 37th worst quality of healthcare in the developed World.<br /><br />STAND READY AMERICA TO SEIZE CONTROL OF YOUR NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.<br /><br />We spend over twice as much of our GDP on healthcare as any other country in the World. And Individual American spend about ten times as much out of pocket on healthcare as any other people in the World. All because of GREED! And the PRIVATE FOR PROFIT healthcare system in America. <br /><br />And while all this is going on, some members of congress seem mostly concern about how to protect the corporate PROFITS! of our GREED DRIVEN, PRIVATE FOR PROFIT NATIONAL DISGRACE. A PRIVATE FOR PROFIT DISGRACE that is in fact, totally valueless to the public health. And a detriment to national security, public safety, and the public health.<br /><br />Progressive democrats and others should stand firm in their demand for a robust public option for all Americans, with all of the minimum requirements progressive democrats demanded. If congress can not pass a robust public option with at least 51 votes and all robust minimum requirements, congress should immediately move to scrap healthcare reform and demand that President Obama declare a state of NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY! Seizing and replacing all PRIVATE FOR PROFIT health insurance plans with the immediate implementation of National Healthcare for all Americans under the provisions of HR676 (A Single-payer National Healthcare Plan For All).<br /><br />Coverage can begin immediately through our current medicare system. With immediate expansion through recruitment of displaced workers from the canceled private sector insurance industry. Funding can also begin immediately by substitution of payroll deductions for private insurance plans with payroll deductions for the national healthcare plan. This is what the vast majority of the American people want. And this is what all objective experts unanimously agree would be the best, and most cost effective for the American people and our economy.<br /><br />In Mexico on average people who received medical care for A-H1N1 (Swine Flu) with in 3 days survived. People who did not receive medical care until 7 days or more died. This has been the same results in the US. But 50 million Americans don’t even have any healthcare coverage. And at least 200 million of you with insurance could not get in to see your private insurance plans doctors in 2 or 3 days, even if your life depended on it. WHICH IT DOES!<br /><br />Contact congress and your representatives NOW! AND SPREAD THE WORD!<br /><br />God Bless You<br /><br />Jacksmith – WORKING CLASSjacksmithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984226788347432249.post-28696555135931399942009-06-18T08:24:23.098-07:002009-06-18T08:24:23.098-07:00Thanks for your comment.

Hundreds of thousands of you are killed needlessly every year by your healthcare delivery system in a rush to profit. And because of a rush to profit Hundreds of thousands more of you are needlessly dying from treatable illness that people in other developed and civilized countries don't DIE! from. Rich, middle class, and poor alike. Insured, and uninsured. Men, women, children, and babies. <BR/><BR/>Additionally, thousands more of you are driven into financial ruin, and bankruptcy just because you, or one of your loved ones got sick or injured. And all of this is happening at a time when America spends twice as much of it's GDP (Gross Domestic Productivity) on health care than any other country in the developed world. Individual Americans spend about ten times as much on health care as any other people in the developed world. This is a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. AND IT MUST END!<BR/><BR/>But before we can truly fix this healthcare crisis and disgrace, everyone needs to clearly understand what the problem is. And everyone needs to clearly understand the real enormity of the problem. The problem is that HEALTHCARE AND MEDICAL DELIVERY IN AMERICA IS SEVERELY CORRUPTED AND COMPROMISED BY GREED! AND THE PRIVATE FOR PROFIT MOTIVE. And it is corrupted, and compromised IN EVERY ASPECT, AND EVERY PLACE OF HEALTHCARE AND MEDICAL DELIVERY. Unfortunately for all Americans, compromised healthcare ALWAYS results in needless suffering, injury, disability, and or death. Which is exactly what is happening now in America in shocking numbers.<BR/><BR/>Health care is NOT! a private for profit business. Healthcare is an essential public service. Like police, and fire. And healthcare is also a human right! PRIVATE FOR PROFIT HEALTHCARE IS AN OXYMORON, AND AN IMMORAL AND UNETHICAL PERVERSION OF HEALTHCARE AND HUMAN RIGHTS.<BR/> <BR/>So how do we fix this healthcare disgrace? I believe the fix for Americas healthcare disaster is essentially the same thing that every other developed country in the World has essentially done. "NOT FOR PROFIT, TAX PAYER SUPPORTED, SINGLE PAYER, AUTOMATIC, FREE UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE FOR ALL”. Essentially HR676 (enhanced, and improved medicare for all). Just like every other CIVILIZED! country in the developed World has. There is no other way to truly fix and reform our current disastrous healthcare delivery system.<BR/><BR/>All Universal health care systems work best when everyone participates. But I know that the healthcare lobby, and some politicians will try and undermine "Not For Profit, Tax payer supported, Single payer, Automatic, Free Universal Healthcare for all" by falsely claiming that it will limit your choice, and require you to participate.<BR/><BR/>So, I propose that everyone be included in the national plan unless they choose to opt out. If you opt out and need medical care the national plan will insure your provider that they will be reimbursed under the rules for members in the national plan. But those who opted out, and their insurer will be responsible for the FULL! cost to the national plan for providing your care if you or your private insurer fails to reimburse the provider or the national plan in a timely manor to at least the standards of the national plan.<BR/><BR/>Including reporting you to credit agencies, withholding of taxes, leans, and garnishment of wages for unpaid medical bills. Just like you have now under private for profit healthcare, and private for profit health insurance.<BR/><BR/>Further, people who opted out will be required to provide proof of financial responsibility for future illness or be required to participate in the national plan. And everyone with children will be required to participate in the national plan. Or provide proof of insurance coverage on each child to the standards of the national plan. It will be against the law to report anyone in the national plan to a credit agency for unpaid medical bills.<BR/><BR/>Frankly, only a dope would want to opt out of the national plan and opt to keep our current disastrous private for profit medical, and insurance plans. But they will be free to choose. The most important thing is that the vast majority of Americans that want the protection, benefits, and higher quality of a universal national plan have that choice.<BR/><BR/>You see, one of the most important aspects of a universal healthcare system is easy access, and patient protection. This is accomplished by having a single payer without a conflict of interest in patient care. And by having a payer who has the power to enforce minimum standards of excellence in healthcare delivery for everyone in the plan. This is much of what Medicare does now for senors. "Aeger Primo" (The patient comes first). Unfortunately in our healthcare system the patient comes last. We are just a peace of meat to them. Cash cows to be slaughtered for profit. <BR/><BR/>So this is IT! my fellow Americans, My fellow human beings, My fellow World Citizens. And my fellow Cyber Warriors. :-) The time has come. D day. H hour. HEALTHCARE REFORM THIS YEAR! Let no one stand in our way. Contact your representative and tell them you want "Not For Profit, Tax Payer Supported, Single Payer, Automatic, Free Universal healthcare for all. And tell them you want that choice now. Tell them you want President Obama's budget passed without delay. President Obama's budget is brilliant. And exactly what is needed now.<BR/><BR/>President Obama, and his allies will need all the support you can give them. The healthcare lobby will try to take out his people if they can, like they did with Tom Daschle and Nancy Killefer. And they will try to neutralize President Obama's popularity, and political power. Or they will try to take him down someway. Don't stand for it. If they attack him. Go after them ten times harder and remove them from office. We had an election. And you the people chose President Obama's leadership, and change agenda. Let no one in government disrespect the will of the American people and remain in office.<BR/><BR/>SPREAD THE WORD! And talk it up with your families, friends, and coworkers. Keep ratcheting up the pressure until there is a ROAR! across America for "NOT FOR PROFIT, TAX PAYER SUPPORTED, SINGLE PAYER, AUTOMATIC, FREE UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE FOR ALL”.<BR/><BR/>Let's get this healthcare reform done now my fellow Americans. This year. Take no prisoners.<BR/><BR/>God Bless All Of You<BR/><BR/><BR/>Jack Smith — Working Class :-)<BR/><BR/>http://jacksmithworkingclass.blogspot.com/<BR/>(http://jacksmithworkingclass.blogspot.com/)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984226788347432249.post-30658224536148100172009-03-21T13:33:00.000-07:002009-03-21T13:33:00.000-07:00RE: AIG Scandal / Spitzer's "comeback&quo...RE: AIG Scandal / Spitzer's "comeback" --- AIG: COME ON! DuH Factor: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. What was going on was the height of inefficiency & people knew, but Madoff held the "golden Egg" - meaning, he knew that money talked & it worked long enough to buy a lot of silence / collusion - for multiple decades. On the face of things, he should be given an honorary PhD in psychology. I'm just glad that finally someone came forward - and, that it was a computer "geek", I mean, an IT person.<BR/><BR/>My father was telling me the story of an underworld mafia boss from Staten Island who asked him to write a program for pitching for NYC public schools IT contracts, a few years ago. He said he made this very legitimate/efficient program - with detailed line-items, &tc. & that the company decided not to go with his program. He scratched his head & briefly wondered what the issues might be, but had gotten paid only to create the program & really had no vested interest in whether or not they used his - or another person's version & soon forgot about the dealings. That is, until, less than a year later, he watched the very same people being dragged out of their offices in FBI handcuffs, charged with federal offenses because they scammed the U.S. government.<BR/><BR/>The point being, if the FBI could mount a sting operation lasting a few short years & snag the mafia in (many) this instance, then they could have easily mounted even a small investigation of Madoff (which would have turned BIG rather quickly). His company was being reported left-and-right - for years. BUT, his daughter was married to a key cover-up player, so the complaints either A) disappeared, or B) were patently ignored. Either way, there were cover-ups on a myriad of levels. THIS is what the American public are missing in the AIG, Goldman & Madoff "scandals".<BR/><BR/>Re: Spitzer: Eliot Spitzer's right about this Wall Street "mess" - and ALWAYS has been. In fact, he was reviled on Wall Street (countless toasted & cheered the day he was found guilty). He'd been squarely in their cross - hairs for years (as they,his) & they got underworld connections to help bring him down. People might be pissed that he screwed expensive hookers - and yes, this was a personal eff-up, but one solely a personal matter between HE and his FAMILY - BUT, he NEVER fucked over as many people as these Wall Street criminals have. That's why he went down. Personally, I hope America wakes up & gives him a pass for these past transgressions, because he's one of the few hopes we actually have. We gave Clinton more than his fair share in the pass department, didn't we? Perhaps Spitzer should start taking saxophone lessons? Might help his "cool factor" image a smidge. ViVA ELLIOT!

Btw., just where were all of these whining politicians when they effortlessly passed the Wall St. Bailout bill, in one short week, no less? They seem to be only concerned when a "bailout" (of nearly the same dollar amount as the one given to a small group of elite financiers) goes to ALL of the American people, combined. This is infuriating beyond.<BR/><BR/>Pro ---> GREAT ONE! Will have to remember any number of your word - analysis on the real AIG. Insofar as Budget - "JESUS H!", as my Mum would say. America's finally gone off the deep end. Q: When will Americans wake up?!?counterspiNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01454373393077453634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984226788347432249.post-9869999718499577632009-03-16T01:08:00.000-07:002009-03-16T01:08:00.000-07:00AIG = Allowing Irreversible Greed.AIG = All in Gre...AIG = Allowing Irreversible Greed.<BR/>AIG = All in Greed.<BR/>AIG = Arn't I Greedy.<BR/>AIG = A$#holes, in general.<BR/><BR/>This is sick. Why in the world are we helping these companies that keep sending millions to people who do not know how to run a company? They cry yet get paid millions on the "average joes" taxes. Furthermore, I fear this is just the tip of the iceberg. Look what Enterprise rent-a-car did to get bailout funds: <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.butasforme.com/2009/02/25/alert-enterprise-rent-a-car-may-have-fired-employees-as-fake-evidence-when-lobbing-for-bailout-money/" REL="nofollow">http://www.butasforme.com/2009/02/25/alert-enterprise-rent-a-car-may-have-fired-employees-as-fake-evidence-when-lobbing-for-bailout-money/</A><BR/><BR/>Not to make excuses for these people, but the bailouts are making crooks out of everyone that touches the money.Juhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971070789037251364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984226788347432249.post-11997786888014906442009-03-15T13:31:00.000-07:002009-03-15T13:31:00.000-07:00AIG’s all just the world’s biggest Ponzi scheme!

Of course there’s no transparency. The people who claim to be fixing it were all in positions to have had something to do (or look the other way) with the making of the Wall Street debacle.<BR/><BR/>I was <A HREF="http://cynicalsynapse.wordpress.com/2008/10/01/suffering-the-effects/" REL="nofollow">opposed to the bailout</A> from the very start. While I knew there would be consequences with AIG’s failure, I figured at least the executives would have to take their lumps, too. And I figured my share would be less. Instead, we’re all paying and the executives are pocketing it.
