Tell Tom Carper to Support the Public Option
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2v5tVWcnGE&feature=player_embedded[/youtube]
We have a little over a month to apply pressure to Senator Carper to support public option health care.
(302) 573-6291
Put this number in your cell phone or your wallet or purse. Call it on your lunch break tomorrow. Ask his staff (or leave a message asking) if Senator Carper supports offering public option healthcare for uninsured families, like the what Senator Carper himself has and what is offered to our troops and veterans. Tell them that the US healthcare system is the envy of no one – it is the worst in the civilized world. Remind them that in most states, only one or two companies hold 60-80% of the market share (65% in Delaware), and in half of the states, one company holds 50% or more (42% in Delaware)1.
I assure you, the companies that limit amputees to one prosthetic limb per lifetime (imagine wearing one pair of sneakers for the rest of your life, or driving one car) will be spending plenty of time and money wooing Senator Carper. He is, after all, perhaps the most anti-consumer, pro-megacorp Democrat in the Senate. If we don’t raise holy hell, I guarantee you that Carper will be voting to keep our health insurance system as it is – for the benefit of few and to the detriment of most.

If there is a public option all federal employees, retirees, elected and appointed representatives should be on it. They could, of course, choose to purchase their own. It would set the right example.
AMERICA’S NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY!
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.
STAND READY AMERICA TO SEIZE CONTROL OF YOUR NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.
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.
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.
Progressive democrats the Tri-Caucus 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 request 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).
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.
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!
If President Obama has to declare a NATIONAL STATE OF EMERGENCY to rescue the American people from our healthcare crisis, he will need all the sustained support you can give him. STICK WITH HIM! He’s doing a brilliant job.
THIS IS THE BIG ONE!
THE BATTLE OF GOOD Vs EVIL!
Join the fight.
Contact congress and your representatives NOW! AND SPREAD THE WORD!
God Bless You

It just works,oh so well!
Gosh Jason a Fox Noise report are you dumb or did you really expect to get the facts?
The bottom line is that it cost less and most important THE CANADIAN’S LIVE LONGER THAN WE DO. So they must be doing something right.
And as far as waiting goes have you ever went to an ER at a hospital here?
When you speak to our dear senior senator Carper, be prepared to argue against his pet approach, the regional cooperatives (which would weaken the national public option by breaking it up into little pieces, so their negotiating power is obliterated).
So if the people’s public representatives do not pass this legislation you would have it implemented by fiat. Justified by swine flu ? Are you completely insane ? You actually advocate siezure of private companies ? This is the kind of idiocy that will destroy what remains of this republic and it’s institutions.
