I write this diary because I think our healthcare system is failing. Premiums are through the roof. The quality of care is down and the country is at a crossroads.
I have a bad feeling about the healthcare bill passing with a public option. My gut is telling me that right now, we are looking at either no bill at all, or a watered down bill that the progressives cave in on. This is unacceptable. We elected the Democrats to make change. We elected them so that we can have affordable healthcare. Right now, the republican party is better organized and capitalizing on the fears of the american people. NO MORE!!! We must organize and show the american people why the public option is vital. We cannot pass a bill that throws more money at the insurance industry and does nothing to help the uninsured. We cannot pass a bill that limits a persons ability to sue their insurance company but does nothing to make the company provide better coverage. We cannot pass a bill that mandates employers give coverage but provides nothing to help with the costs. NO MORE!!! Robert Reich said that we should march in DC. I say we should march across the USA. Every city and every state must be represented. September 13th is the date. Help make this happen. Healthcare costs are hurting all americans. The tea baggers organized over fears. We must organize with a purpose. Make the media hear us. Please help me at www.marchforhealthcare.com or Facebook March For Healthcare
The facebook link is a group to join. We need people who can help organize.
I ask, if the public option does not happen now, then when. When Hillary tried health care reform it failed. We are now here 15 years later. Does anyone want to wait another 15 years for true reform?
