1. Good News! I hope many more come on board. n/t

[pheasant]

3. How much was medicare projected to cost and how much did it actually cost?

Seems to me it has blown the US budget to smithereens.

[Cleita]

5. If you have some factual sources to post, please do.

However, most studies show that Medicare delivers medical care efficiently for 30% less administrative costs than privatized insurers and for half the cost per patient. In the meantime familiarize yourself with this website that posts all relevant studies and articles on the subject: http://www.pnhp.org

[Saturday]

6. Thanks for that link.

I've never seen it before.

[Cleita]

8. I post it about three times a week for those like you who

are not familiar with it. It has the best information on the subject although it is by no means the only website addressing our health care crisis.

[Lars39]

9. Our military spending equals the rest of the world's military spending

combined.

[sutz12]

19. Actually, I believe it exceeds the rest of the world....or it used to.

Maybe China is catching up, but their military is cheaper than ours.

[Richard Steele]

10. Oh, it's MEDICARE that's blown the US budget? Who told you that, Rush Limbaugh?

You clearly have not a clue as to what you're talking about.

[PA Democrat]

11. No, that would be George Bush's addiction to war...

that has blown the US budget literally "to smithereens."

[Arugula Latte]

12. No, that would be the multi-billions squandered by the military. nt

[TahitiNut]

13. Is that how it "seems" to you?

Or is that the result of watching too much Faux Snooze and listening to too much Oxycontin Limpballs?

:eyes:

[dkofos]

20. Tax cuts, the war and defense are what is blowing the budget.

[endarkenment]

23. How much is your life and your good health worth?

And your neighbors?

How does a caring society not care for its sick and elderly?

[blondeatlast]

24. I read dead people... nt

[TahitiNut]

2. Looks a lot like the Progressive Caucus to me.

Some of my favorite Congresscritters are in that list. Sad not to see Sander Levin in there.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

4. I bet after the debute of Sicko

there will be many more. Thanks for the bill number--I'll have to write my congressman about it specifically.

[wildhorses]

7. i salute them K&R

:patriot:

:kick:

[me b zola]

14. My progressive Congressman, Blumenauer, isn't on the list

He really is pretty good. If anybody else would like to help me to get Rep Blumenauer on board, there is a good chance that we could get him to do the right thing. Contact info:

Rep Earl Blumenauer
US House of Representatives
2267 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515

[bananas]

15. k&r nt

[SeattleGirl]

16. All right! My rep, Jim McDermott, is on the list!

:thumbsup:

[DemReadingDU]

17. morning kick

[lonestarnot]

18. Cool

[bvar22]

21. This is picking up momentum!

Great List. Most of my favorite congresscritters!

Medicare for ALL!!!
NOT
Mandatory Health Insurance :thumbsdown:

The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.

[snappyturtle]

22. Here, here for H.R. 676 and its co-sponsors!

This would help break up the cozy relationship between big pharma and the insurance companies...imho.

[blondeatlast]

25. Two AZ Reps! (Not mine, of course, but nonethelesss, I'll take anything!) nt
