Health Care '09-Health Care Can't Wait

On June 25th, 2009, a health care rally took place in Washington, DC, Health Care '09-Health Care Can't Wait. The rally was put on by Health Care for America Now. People from all across the country came out in support of a public health insurance option and later lobbied their Congressional reps.

Actress Edie Falco and Dr. Howard Dean addressed the crowd. People also gave health care horror stories.

Special thanks to Robin Young and CWA Local 2001 for the busses, t-shirts and snacks.

@xjmachine Not my video/printshop. On the job injuries R already covered by worker's comp insurance Ur employer paid 4.

The US Gov DENIES EVERY SINGLE Social Security Disability Claim REGARDLESS, as well as the next 3 appeals 2 C if u will get a job & work in pain. Most do. If u cant work @ all, u still have to hire an attorney & live with NO income until u 'win' SS disability U PAID TAXES into Ur whole working life.

Fed workers comp is the same. It's hard to fight 4 Fed benefits when ur N pain

This bill is a slush fund & civil rights violator in sheeps clothing. Its and ideological health care outline with fill in the blanks later. We want to know what we're getting BEFORE it is law, not after! There's already provisions 2 collect personal info on citizens protected as a private ie medical history, bank account balances, preventive care mandates (eat healthy or lose your coverage if u eat junk food. Gov forcing us 2 buy anything isn't within their constitutional power.

I'd rather have the freedom to choose to save that money in a bank account, tax free to use on my health care. $400 buck a mo racks up fast & could be invested to grow even larger.

But it will be cheaper to pay the fine, & then buy insurance when I get sick & stick the rest of u supporting my med bills. Hows that grab ya?

@xjmachine one trip to my doctor out of pocket with no insurance costs about $60. I can get an ultrasound for $100 with no insurance. The PO's business has BOOMED because of eBay & online shipping. & there NEVER WAS EVER 100% employer contribution, EVER.

Yeesh! Get educated!

This bill allows the IRS direct access to your health records & bank account to withdraw the $2000 fine if u cant afford $397 per month ins.

Obama is Bush's 3rd term. He lied about who he was. He's worse than Bush was.

This bill isnt going to help us uninsured, it's a disguise to usurp our right to privacy.

Remember when U could walk down a street w/o a camera recording U, when it was ILLEGAL 4 the govt 2 listen in on phone calls & we didn't have our genitalia photoscanned to get on an airplane?

@xjmachine Can U afford $397.00 per month for govt subsidized health care? That's how much Postal Employees (the govts largest employer) pay per mo. That is $100 MORE per mo. than 1 yr ago! PLUS Gov employees STILL have 2pay $20 out-of-pocket per dr visit, 20% co-pays 4 prescriptions & procedures, that's AFTER you've paid a $700 deductible. Get educated!
