WITH DEMOCRATS LIKE HER,
WE DON'T NEED REPUBLICINS !
Let's have a little investigation of
her hubby's war profit contracts.
Better watch your back, Senator, next time around you may not have enough votes to retain your office.
Vote up or down and see what happens if it doesn't pass. They are more afraid of not receiving contributions from big Pharma than the voters. I hope we outsiders are serious about removing people from office who don't vote they way we need them to. Nov. 10 can't come fast enough. They think they will wreck this and try to give us EFCA or something instead. No, we are tired of playing nice. Power to the people!
We can't afford not to pass universal healthcare reform. Write or call your public officials in D.C. and let them know how you feel!
Read this story and see how the failure of our current system will eventually bankrupt us all in terms of healthcare:

With USELESS Dems like Diane Feinstein - of course he lacks the votes! They have the House, Senate and the White House but STILL they cannot get the American People the relief they so desperately need. Cowards ALL OF THEM! Get rid of them ALL!
Why? Because she got bribed?
1.6 Trillion Is too large to spend on the American people, but enough to supplement GWB's war policies.
President Barack Obama may not have enough votes in the U.S. Senate to pass his effort to overhaul the nation’s health-care system, California Democrat Dianne Feinstein said.
I hope there aren't enough votes in the average American house holds to return these folks to Washington. They’ve been sent to DC to reform the place not to play nice with those who refuse to change the status quo.
This highlights why we need public finance reform and term limits, another series of ideas that went nowhere
Has Rahm finished all his closed door one-on-one Chicago style meetings with the Dems? I have a feeling (and I hope I'm right) that the White House still has a couple of cards to show to the lawmakers on the Hill.
Is it possible that an inevitable shift over time to the public option from the private would essentially end up being a rudimentary single-payer system only more expensive than it has to be?
Everything in the USA is more expensive than it needs to be.
Maybe the negotiations will fall apart and then obama will go back to the drawing board and this time do the single payer route with reconciliation
It is absolutely preposterous that the USA does not have a single payer, public health care system. The following quotation succinctly summarizes the problem. See http://www
"Among the six nations studied—Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States—the U.S. ranks last, as it did in the 2006 and 2004 editions of Mirror, Mirror. Most troubling, the U.S. fails to achieve better health outcomes than the other countries, and as shown in the earlier editions, the U.S. is last on dimensions of access, patient safety, efficiency, and equity. The 2007 edition includes data from the six countries and incorporates patients' and physicians' survey results on care experiences and ratings on various dimensions of care."
What is it that keeps our nation running dead last in health care? My personal position is that the health care industry is far more interested in profits, than in health! What is necessary to improve health care in the USA? Simple ... eliminate the profit motive!
Legislators need to understand one thing...
No matter how much money that they have accepted from the health industry lobbies, No government plan option, far fewer votes come November 2010 (which is closer that they think)...
Absolutely! Listen up, DiFi et .al., if Obama doesn't get the support needed to pass Health Care from the Dems, neither will both Houses of Congress!
Signed,
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
Senator Feinstein, please make it your #1 job to help Obama get the votes to pass health care with a public option.
Signed: One of your constituents
Senator Feinstein, please make it your #1 job to help Obama get the votes to pass health care with a single payer public option. In fact, HR676!
Signed: Another one of your constituents
Co-signed another constituent.
I think the reason she is saying this is because they've not heard much from the American public. Sure they've done some polls, but we've not overwhelmed the switchboards with angry phone calls. Do it and it will get their attention. I guarantee you they are hearing every day from reps for the Insurance, Big Pharma and the Medical INDUSTRY.
PICK UP THE PHONE PEOPLE and demand SINGLE PAYER!
Dept of HHS phone is 1-877-696-6775
Max Baucus is 202-224-2651
Finance committee is (202) 224-4515
White House is 202-456-1414

Also, take a look at HR 676, the Medicare for All bill introduced by John Conyers in the House. http://www
Scroll down to see if your congressional rep is on the list of 75 co-sponsors. Don't see them listed? CALL THEM and ask WHY?!!!
Find our congressional rep's phone number by going here: http://www
It is very important that we CALL. They weigh phone calls much more heavily than emails. Jam the d.amn switchboards!
If the vast majority of the American people want single payer as an option, yet DiFi says the votes aren't there, then maybe we need to go back to the HuffPo front page with an eye to start taking lessons from the courageous Iranians in Tehran.
Absolutely!
