The most important piece of legislation in America today, with nearly 100 cosponsors in the house, H.R.676 is the only health care bill that will truly reform our tragically broken health care system.
This is the bill that your insurance company doesn't want you to know about. This is the bill that presidential candidates (except Kucinich) are afraid to talk about, presumably because they like to keep getting campaign contributions from the insurance industry.
What would you think about a health care system that actually works for everybody, costs billions of dollars less, provides greater coverage, truly protects you from financial ruin due to medical bills, improves quality, increases innovation, and returns medical decisions to you and your doctor instead of some claims adjuster at an insurance company 1,000 miles away.
31 cents of every health care dollar spent is wasted on administrative expenses and insurer profits in the US system. This is why the US spends double what other industialized nations spend on health care yet has worse outcomes. We need to save that money and spend it on better health care for you, me, and all Americans. Our system is sick and dying, and this is the cure.

Healthcare companies take 1 out of every 3 dollars. So the ones that do not come up with new medicine or treat people medically make as much or more money as those who do.
"I hoping that when people read this blog, they see the insanity of a single payer system."
I live in a single-payer system. My dad was saved from a stroke last year by a single-payer system. He didn't have to wait; he didn't have to pay or lose his home or his savings. No one cut his coverage because he was now a liability. Now if you consider any or all of that insane, well, all I can say is, bring on the straight jackets... one for every citizen for the United States.
Single payer is a payment system. Everyone in, everybody pays a payroll tax, 3.3%. No high premiums, no deductibles, no co-pays. no more in network doctors or hospital bull go anywhere you want, see any doctor you want. Everyone's covered, lose job, covered, move out of state?, covered. Get cancer, you're covered. No denials. How can Walmart sell $4.00 drugs, they have a big pool, who has a bigger pool? We the people of the USA. What service does insurance provide for their 31% cut?
The Kansas Health Policy Authority hired the consulting firm of Schramm-Raleigh to do a fiscal analysis of five options for expanding coverage. They found that single payer (the Mountain plan) would cover all the uninsured and reduce state health spending by $869 million annually. The other plans would cover a portion of the uninsured and would raise costs between $150 million to $500 million in the state.
It is kind of amazing some "people" think health costs are like buying a car or any other commercial proposition (eg: all the insurance co-sponsored posts on Youtube by varying "people"). You can plan to buy a car or a house: it's your own responsibility and your money allocation--but you can't plan a medical affliction. Not the same. I simply note one anti-health plan person on Ytube had her two fave videos as a) a revolver shooting into a tank, and b) a clip of Milton F'man on "Greed". True!!
DUDE am being nice, whats your problem I have been nothing but nice and curious you at ever turn try and get offended am trying to debate you on the facts you refuse flat out
I ask for you to give questions you have about single payer and you just start attacking me am saying on because you are thinking about it istead of just believing what people tell you. whats your problem am trying to talk to you why are you getting so offended you afraid am right

Congressmen? You mean all those people who pocket hundreds of thousands of dollars every year from HMOs?
Dude, stand up and be a CITIZEN, for God's sake. Stop volunteering to be bleating fodder for the wolves of the insurance industry.
