Just stop.
Because right now, you don't represent the majority of Americans on health care reform or even the majority of constituents in your district.
And you certainly don't represent the majority of Democrats.
You represent yourselves and all the health care corporations who directly or indirectly fund your career.
But this is not about your career or their massive profits.
It's about America -- a rich, powerful, civilized country you were elected to help run.
And a country that up till now has said that the value of human health is best measured in material wealth.
That if you're rich, you get the best treatment; if you're not, you don't.
That's insane.
Cancer doesn't know how much money a patient has; a virus doesn't ask for a credit report.
And public health should never be a business where the profits are counted in quarterly double digits and the profiteers are paid annually in tens of millions.
Health care can be a business, but first and foremost it is a basic human right.
A right that President Obama was elected to recognize and help make law.
A right that you are trying to deny.
So stop. Please.
Think about who you represent, what you were actually elected to do and do it.
Or continue to stall and dilute this bill, in what has be one of the most transparently corrupt actions ever to take place in Washington DC.
Which is a real achievement -- if what you seek is eternal political infamy.
Health Care and its subsidiaries makes a lot of money for a lot of well connected people
I think if you check the economic portfolios of the senators fighting against health care reform, I bet you will find that they all have heavily investments in the prison systems, hospitals, pharmaceuticals, insurances ,and any industry that they think A Reformed Health care may impact.
Their primary interest is to protect their interests, "the American people be dammed !!!
If you agree, please sign the petition below, and forward it - any way you can - to anyone and everyone you know! Time to let them know how we feel!!!!

"Or continue to stall and dilute this bill, in what has be one of the most transparently corrupt actions ever to take place in Washington DC."
The actions of the Blue Dogs and Baucus are corruption in action....
Would that we had a MSM that would call a spade a spade... instead we get articles about the "fiscally conservative" BDs and other outright lies.
God we are in dire straits if these two groups can derail true reform of profit-driven healthcare.
in combination with kicking out the 'keep eating habit' to forget the deep-seated instability and apprehension, I guess.
'Work or Break' health system with no brake or safety system might be one of the biggest hidden causes of mental stress, obesity or overweight threatening the overall economy, I cautiously suppose.
In the current national emergency of health care, some our elected representatives have sold out to the commercial medical interests that fund their political campaigns. Some say 20,000 Americans die each year for lack of health care. They would let us die to maintain their careers. This is the swan song of American democracy: money buys votes, and these politicians believe we are too stupid, preoccupied or disinterested to realize it.
More than the last notes of the American democratic experiment, this is a nail in the coffin of American honor. While we die from lack of health care, and our children die in foreign wars to save us, the obstructionist Democrats and Republicans prevent us from achieving parity, fairness and equity of health care. They sell us out - to avoid losing their sinecures as politicians on the take. This is antithetical to democracy and, please note well, inexcusably disrespectful of all our patriotic dead warriors who gave their lives for ours.
Wake up America, while our patriots are dying, there are traitors among us.
When the REAL fear out there is the insurance companies fear of not being able to gouge the American citizen while giving crappy care, or denying care altogether.
and the cost, cost, cost 'argument'.... how much are American lives worth to YOU????
A public rally for health care reform in DC
http://citizensforapublicoption.com/
What they should be voting on is a single payer plan if cost was really at he heart of their concern.
Our countries defeat will come from within. It will come from our congress and be bought by the highest bidder.
OK, fine!
Let Congress buy their own health insurance. No more Socialized Medicine from the government. No coverage for pre-existing conditions. They can research, apply for, and pay for their own insurance!
No $$ from medical industry, no jobs in medical industry.
Then watch how fast Health Care Reform happens!
If you don't like it, you can go live in a place where all citizens get quality healthcare and have elected officials who actually represent them. This is America damn it. We don't need no stinking democracy.
