Please read this article at this link; http://thefrankfactorspace.ning.com/profiles/blogs/why-the-hcr-bill-is-not-all it is a really good synopsis about the negative aspects of this Health Care Bill!
Yes, I know Medicaid will be expanded but I agree with the author of this article, Medicaid is really in trouble right now and many Docs won't take Medicaid! So Great, Thanks For Nothing!
The State Exchanges are a joke, it is repackaging the same lipsticked pigs that we can buy Insurance from right now!
All I can say is No Public Option---No Individual Mandate! Pelosi Give Us an Up or Down Vote For The Public Option in the House!
Please call, call, call today, especially Pelosi, this is the last day for the mark ups on the Reconciliation Bill, see the email below.
We have 51 votes in the Senate for the Public Option, please call Nancy Pelosi and have a chat!
The Bold Progressives announced Friday night that we have 51 votes for the Public Option in the Senate. Please call Nancy Pelosi and tell her what you think about the charade that she is playing with our Public Option! The Bold Progressives are asking everyone to call your own Rep too, see below.
Here is what I am going to say, "Just give us the Public Option that was promised to us at the beginning of this whole health care debate! We need it to inject some competition into this Health Care Reform! Or get those Individual Mandates out of that bill, one or the other! Give us an Up or Down Vote in House on the Public Option or get rid of those hated Mandates"
Thanks for all that you do, let's stay connected and let's continue to demand "Health Care as a Human Right and not a Commodity"! Dr. Lora
Pelosi's Washington office is often busy, I call Pelosi's San Fran number (415) 556-4862
Donna,
Yesterday, thousands of us called Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin
(D-IL), criticizing him for recent remarks that undermined the public
option.
In direct response, his spokesperson emailed us some big news
today:
"I want to be crystal clear: Sen.
Durbin and the rest of the Senate Leadership will be aggressively
whipping FOR the public option if it is included in the reconciliation
bill the House sends over."
This is huge. The fate of the public option is now in House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi's hands.
Representative Janice Schakowsky has already said she supports a
public option -- but now we need her to fight. Can you call her now and
ask her to urge Speaker Pelosi to allow a vote on the public option?
We will keep the pressure on the Senate, but Durbin's statement
today was game-changing and Speaker Pelosi needs to act -- by scheduling
an up-or-down vote in the House.
So far, she seems resistant. But too many people have fought too
hard for Speaker Pelosi to now deny a vote on the public option. The
more House members speak out, the more pressure Pelosi will face to
allow the public option to move forward.
The public option is in our grasp. With your help, we'll make it
happen.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
