Elizabeth Kucinich talks about Universal Health Care

Sunday November 11, 2007 Elizabeth Kucinich arrived in Denver to attend the Colorado for Kucinich fundraiser brunch held at the Mercury Café. The Mercury Café is one of Denver's alternative hotspots and has led the way in greening Denver by installing solar panels and wind turbines. The Mercury has been sponsoring bio diesel support groups, and owner Marilyn McGinnity is a great supporter of the Kucinich campaign.
The turn out was large and Kucinich was well received. Colorado4Kucinch organizers stressed the need to get Kucinich supporters out to the precinct caucus process which is held on February 5, 2008. Colorado does not hold a presidential preference primary. Campaign organizers urged members of the audience to remind their friends that December 5, 2007 is the deadline for registering to vote as a Democrat in order to be eligible to participate in the Democratic caucus process.
Paige Tompson introduced Elizabeth Kucinich who took the stage and gave a brief talk about the campaign and some key issues before saying she really wanted to hear from the audience, and answer any questions they may have about issues or the campaign.

Great idea better for US people than Ron Paul idea on health.

[GreatGig1]

HR 676 is the best Health Care Reform I have heard/read! Get the insurance companies out! We do NOT need a middle man with their hands out taking their cut, while we do NOT get the care/coverage we deserve and pay for! The idea of getting sick and NOT having to file bankruptcy after losing your home, car, all assets due to getting sick, which is occuring now, sounds like the BEST idea to me!

Kucinich '08!!

How would this be paid.for?

[shawakwak]

Bing Bong HELLO.

You already have a rationed healthcare system. Do you have unlimited money?

Your health care is only going to go as far as your money takes you, Or what the private insurance industry has left after they extract their arm and leg.

Regardless of how it's administered unless it's unlimited it's rationed.

[shawakwak]

Who says it's worse?

[johnnorvaisas]

Why do you people want far worse health care then we have now i just don't get it.

Worse health care and much higher taxes why???

[shawakwak]

You've been staving off necessary tax increases for 20 years . I'm just saying....

[austintexas300]

So where is all this money that will pay for this healthcare come from? I guess most people haven't seen the terrible healthcare in Europe and Canada. WHO is going to pay for it? Are we going to BEG China to come to our rescue ? The Kucinich Dream team is at it again.

[edmondov]

One problem is doctors tend to get greedy and want most for their services.

[buster27]

it's a competitor

it will be good insurance companies have full power of healthcare,

thats what needs to change.

[ForTehNguyen]

lol do people really think govt will lower healthcare costs? Tell me what programs have they done which lowered costs for people? Look how badly they run Amtrak and the Post Office yet people want them to run healthcare?
