HR676 - The Single Payer Solution, Part 2 of 4
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.
This footage was take primarily from Congressional testimony given earlier in 2007.

We are tired of health insurance greed. We are tired of not getting what we pay for. We are tired of middlemen (the private insurance companies) interfering with needed care prescribed by our doctors and nurse practitioners. Private health insurers are a waste and a drain on our system and a threat to the health of our nation. We all should be getting better care.
HR 676, improved and expanded Medicare for All is the answer. Publicly funded, privately delivered care. That's the American way!

i think people should continue to push for this... I was told that 'competition' is necessary... in health insurance... as if insuring people is a product or a service instead of a deal between a company and a group of people.. where the gambit is that the company makes more money than spend.
than you for this video.
