National Call-In Day for HR 676--Jan 15th
Call Congress Now and Jan. 15 to support HR 676


Congressman John Conyers will reintroduce HR 676, his single-payer healthcare bill in the 111th Congress. Please ask your representative to cosponsor the bill and actively work with Rep. Conyers to gain additional cosponsors. In order to ensure HR 676 is part of the healthcare discussion in Congress, we need 150 cosponsors by the end of February.

Former Sen. Tom Daschle, President-Elect Obama's nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services, called for "a government-run insurance program modeled after Medicare" in testimony before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions as part of the solution to our healthcare crisis. His plan also includes health insurance corporations. Only HR 676 would implement a sustainable, fair, and efficient solution to the healthcare crisis as well as providing economic stimulus.

3. Repubs need to hear from you also.

Remember the minimum wage hike in the 90s? Enough REpubs were scared enough of their constituents to go for it.

6. Can someone give me a quick explanation of single payer?

Is it Medicare for all? Is it a new plan?

Just a quick summary please!

7. Single payer means ......

..... one source of payment for all medical providers - the feds. Insurance companies are gone. Profit is removed from the system. You get to choose your doctor (or keep the one you have). Your doctor, without bean counter intervention, gets to choose, along with you, the proper course of care for you.

9. Thanks for clearing that up!
