Medicare's 44th B'day Rally, Cupcake Lobby Day, Kucinich's Single Payer Strategy

On July 30, 2009, The Leadership Conference for Guaranteed Health Care, with HealthCare-Now, organized a Medicare's 44th Birthday Lobby and Rally Day in D.C. Thousands of single payer advocates came from around the country to deliver petitions, letters and cupcakes to their Representatives, asking their House and Senate members to co-sponsor Congress' single payer legislation. At a crowded House briefing on states' single payer efforts, Pennsylvania's Chuck Pennacchio spoke (among others), as did Rep. Dennis Kucinich, who proposed a concrete strategy for moving forward. The next day, on Friday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a full House vote on single payer after the summer recess.

We're already $815,000,000.00 over budget. How in the hell do you expect to pay for a socialist healthcare?

You get this garbage in Pa & I'm moving out.
