Wow! My conservative Democratic Representative

[norepubsin08]

just signed onto HR 676. I ran against Norm Dicks in 1990 and in that campaign argued for such a plan and no one would listen. Last month we had a "Health Care For All" Rally and March in Tacoma and were able to muster 22 elected officials including US Congressman Adam Smith, 11 different faith systems and 26 congregations, labor leaders, education leaders and health professionals. We had 300+ people which was good for Tacoma and we were covered on the Seattle news station KIRO 4 times that day. I would like to think that some of this was a final nudge to get Dicks on board!

Anyway, I don't care, but I do care passionately and deeply about this issue. I had cancer twice...the first time I was insured and I was able with a struggle to keep up financially. The second time I was with out health insurance and racked up 168K in bills and our family lost everything we had. We are just now recovering.

GO UNIVERSAL SINGLE PAYER!!!!!!!
