To make the country healthy and to make you healthy what is needed is single payer health insurance. The gift of good health is the best present for valentines day. The way to ensure good health for all americans is with good health insurance. Thats why you should support the group called (Single Payer Action ) who want a government run single payer health insurnce. This organization ( Single Payer Action ) wants this insurance to have no co-pays, deductibles or bills. To me this is just the prescription for all americans. Yes you can find ( Single Payer Action ) on the internet.

To achieve real health insurance reform groups pushing for change should advertise on television. I wonder why none of the groups advocating for single payer health insurance NEVER make a infomercial. If you go to the internet site of "FYI Media Services" you will find that they can make a infomercial for $6-12K. You should visit the internet site of "Single Payer Action." Here is how you can contact "Single Payer Action."

Single payer health insurance is the best solution for the citizens of the United States. If you go to the internet site of ( Single Payer Action ) you will find that they want to have a single payer health insurance plan in the U.S, with no deductibles or co-pays. As far as I'm concerned health insurance rates will always go up whether the economy is good or bad. As of today and for the future not many people can afford the rising premiums, deductibles or co-pays. Since this is the case can somebody please explain to me why they will vote for republicans for the house and senate in 2012? All the republicans will do is protect the health insurance companies and their money.

Stewart Alexander, a U.S. Presidential Candidate for 2012, says the Republicans don’t get it; Americans want the health care law repealed; the entire bill. “I am running on an anti-Obama-care ticket. Working people want the health care bill repealed. Now the Republican members in Congress have less than two years to get the job done.” Alexander: Republicans have less than two years to repeal Obama-care Stewart Alexander 2012 http://socialistparty-usa.org/

The health care bill soon to be signed into law represents a historic victory for the Obama administration, Democrats and the American people. But it's also a stunning defeat for Republicans. America's Democrats, under the inspirational leadership of President Barack Hussein Obama, have single handedly guaranteed that some 32 million additional Americans will become eligible for health insurance, beginning in 2014. Single handedly, Democrats have guaranteed that insurance companies no longer can deny coverage to children with pre-existing medical problems, a guarantee that will be extended to all adults in 2014. Single handedly, Democrats have guaranteed that the so-called "doughnut hole" in the Medicare prescription drug benefit will close.

Well, SOME news sources are worth checking out for political news. Others, not so much. My roommate back in college admitted once that he spent an awful lot of time complaining about things (Usually justifiably, I thought) but felt he really had to make an exception once and to declare that the meal we were eating at a usually not-so-great cafeteria was really first-class. In the same light, I'd really like to commend the front-page piece in the Inky today summing up the health care summit yesterday. It's a solid, substantve piece that lets one know where all the players in the health care game are standing and where they're headed.  For the record, Democrats from the President on down appear to have really lost patience with Republican delaying and filibustering and offering "deals" that Democrats simply can't accept, primarily the "deal" of starting from scratch with a blank piece of paper and then building up a brand new health care bill from the ground up. Democrats absolutely refused to start over or to promise not to use the reconciliation process in order to bypass the filibuster.

Why did the Democratic Party lose what seemed a sure thing? Simple. President Obama was too far off to the right-wing side of the national debate. He needed to run things closer to the way his base thought about things. Well, Al Franken was sworn in as the Democrats' 60th Senator on the 7th of July 2009 and a bit less than 200 days later, on the 19th of January 2010, Democrats lost the special election held in Massachusetts in which the late Senator Ted Kennedy was replaced. As the fake-news comedian Jon Stewart put it, "the Democrats won't be able to pass health care reform with an 18-vote majority," a majority that George W. Bush NEVER had and remember, he could do whatever the %#@ he wanted to do!!!

lies and deceit about health care reform Media Disseminated Myths about Obamacare - by Stephen Lendman Pro or con, major media spin distorts, exaggerates, and lies to avoid key truths on this critically important issue. After the House passed HR 3962: Affordable Health Care for America Act, a November 11 Nation magazine editorial (likely by editor, publisher, and part-owner Katrina vanden Heuvel) admitted the bill's faults, yet praised it saying: -- "something remarkable happened on November 7 when the House voted 220-215 for legislation that the Congressional Budget Office says will extend insurance coverage to 36 million uncovered Americans....in the House bill there is certainly something to work with, and something to fight for."

Right now members of Congress are weighing their decisions for or against health care reform and what the shape of it will be. When trying to take in the entirety of the topic and public opinion on reform, it's easy to become confused or harbor doubts as to how best to proceed. As much as many find the idea of not standing up for principles without budging as much as an inch inconceivable, often politicians must do exactly that. It isn't necessary to completely allow one's campaign platforms to collapse under the weight of varying polls or loud hollers. But, one must do an amount of compromising to gain popular support to remain in office. When public opinion is all over the place fears can set in. The nervous pangs that sometimes afflict most of us are constant buzzing reminders in the sides of career politicians. They mark the fact that every turn, every vote and every spoken word could spell ruin for their career. However, when conflicting messages swirl about remember it is a time to stop, wait, step back and take a few moments to get bearings and a true read on the landscape.

Huzzah! The House of Representative passed a reasonably decent health care bill. Now it's on to the Senate, where simply avoiding a filibuster is the major problem. Major problem with the House's bill, though. Women and their reproductive choice got "thrown under the bus" so that the Democrats could get the bill passed. As Jane Hamsher explains (And yes, her language is a bit raw in this piece, but her anger is clearly justified), NARAL and Planned Parenthood were informed on July 1st that Representative Bart Stupak (D-MI) and his merry band of anti-abortionists wanted the health care bill to explicitly exclude coverage for reproductive choice.
