Support H.R.1200: American Health Security Act of 2011

Legislation to provide health care for every American through a Medicare-for-all type single-payer system was introduced in the Senate by Sen. Bernie Sanders and in the House by Rep. Jim McDermott. Their twin bills would provide better care for more patients at less cost by eliminating the middle-man role played by private insurance companies that rake off billions of dollars in profits. The American Health Security Act of 2011 would provide federal guidelines and strong minimum standards for states to establish and administer single-payer health care programs. At a press conference outside the Capitol, Sanders applauded the Vermont Legislature for voting to put the state on the path toward a single-payer system. Vermont, he said, could become a model for the nation.

And to think we had a Democratic President, a Democratic Senate and a Democratic House and they refused to even discuss this. Just sad. Go forward Bernie Sanders. Go forward Jim McDermott. Go forward Vermont. Let's hope you can drag this country into the 21st. Century.

We don't need you to take care of us...this is not a RIGHT. RIGHTS are listed. This is the ultimate control issue...and one in which those of you who want to own others is achieved. This is not a communist country. You have kept your word to "...support and defend the United States Constitution..." a full 20% in the 112th Congress...and that means you did not keep your word 80% of the time, Mr Sanders. Restore America Ron Paul 2012...keep the politician's hands out of our pockets.

Americans pay into a single fund to provide weapons, gear, and salary for the military and it's patriotic.

Americans pay into a single fund to provide health care to other Americans it's socialism and an attempt to destroy the country.

...and Americans wonder why the "idiot American" stereotype is so prevalent around the world...?

Go out there, people. Support this from the ground up.

Come on, please please please, DO THIS. That means you youtubers need to write to your representatives, and you need to make it known that you support this.

Come on, do you know how few little assholes have their thumb on the no universal healthcare issue? A bunch of scared rich people, a very small group, and some spineless politicians. Go out there. Get yours. Come on people....

Seriously...come on!

@AzraelI666 Sad but true at this point......

[AzraelI666]

Sorry, but this will never happen: there is no profit to be made out of it.

"healthcare is a right"

To quote George Carlin, "There's no such thing as rights...they're imaginary. Like the Boogey Man, Mother Goose, shit like that."

[SuperSparkyMark1]

This guy is 100% right!!!!!! 

[inquiry10]

wow...that would be my dream for this country make no mistake.

[gettingolder2]

This what O Bomb-U, should have done in the first place..

[HistorySkeptic]

cost is not the issue. losing a gargantuan profit machine is the issue. MBAs work hard to find new ways to extract value from the populace; they won't give up this one easily. Hopefully enough of the corporate sector will see this as an opportunity for a good faith gesture to the American masses. they need one right about now.

[Dwicker64]

No problem, just give me that same benefits and health insurance the Congressman have.
