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.

Well, it was a nice …
Well, it was a nice idea….
“If the People demand it, there’s momentum, they’ll get HR 676…..” Uh, no. Every person in the country could scream and march for it, and Lieberman, Baucus, et al, will Still do the bidding of their corporate masters and shoot it down. As long as money rules, they’ll do whatever it takes to get it, and to with their own voters. They’ve proven it, and they’ll continue to prove it….
Until they’re voted out of office (and get their pensions for life…)
The governator is a …
The governator is a socialist?
news to me…
@hoorano, a start …
@hoorano, a start is getting rid of the incumbents and replacing them with people with non-politicla degrees. Real people with real college degrees: Business, Architecutre…etc. etc. Political science degree elected officials are a joke and I’m very suspicious of career politicians as well and some do have to go. Regardless CA is still a beautiful state scenic wise and it will always stay that way. Living here, well depends on where and what you can do.
@hoorano the …
@hoorano the federal govt. has its limits in the healthcare field and they are not within in their powers to impose unconstitutional mandates that everyone have insurance. There was at least one good article written regarding that issue. Now the states on the other had that is a different story however I’d be surprised if CA ever got single payer off the ground.
My prayers to CA. I …
My prayers to CA. I hope the voters can throw out the socialist bums out of office and allow the people to prosper in liberty. As for the 1 payer hc, I hope that the people will cry for repeal of the ruling before it’s enacted.
Do you think govt …
Do you think govt can do better in heath care? Govt can deny treatment like how UK do with their NICE program, their death panel. Obama wanted something similar. W/ govt run hc, you can be covered but you can be denied treatments. In Oregon, Barbara Wagner was denied chemotherapy drugs and was offered assisted suicide. We are afraid that this can become a common practice by the feds. The company that created the drug gave it to her for free. Corporations evil?The leftist govt can be evil!
hoorano I don’t …
hoorano I don’t tell me how I think, as you are way off base and your grammer sucks!
The best healthcare …
The best healthcare in this country if not the world is at our goverment backed university research hospitals such as John Hopkins. Meanwhile I was never denied healthcare in Australia nor the Netherlands nor did I hear of anyone ever being denied life saving drugs or procedures (maybe you had to wait for other procedures occasionally) like I hear they are doing here all the time!
I have owned and …
I have owned and run businesses and profits are good and they can be modivating, but when EVERYTHING is left to the bottom line and it is YOUR life they are denying for THEIR profit you may find it is not you making the choice. Remember you can call your Congressman and he may respond and help you, but big corporations don’t have to give a f*ck, and they have been known to let people die…many times over again.
hoorano my opinions …
hoorano my opinions come from my life experiences here and abroad I need no one to tell me what to think like you may. and what you say is nonsense I believe that extreme socializm (USSR, Cuba, VN N Korea) is a failed system just as I believe extreme capitalism is a failed system that we are now living. BUT what I experienced in the Netherlands or Australia worked quite well and I saw nor heard of deniles of healthcare to anyone (including foreigners) nor of any ‘death panels’. Meanwhile…

Bite me jklsr55 I was responding to your rude name calling, patronizing response below:
I agree. BTW, …
I agree. BTW, cemott3rd’s belief is left-wing rhetoric. He believes in what failed in USSR & Cuba would work in US. Profit to him is evil & a sin. He don’t care for the raises & bonuses can give him if the company profits. He don’t believe that the profits can help his employer get better choices in medical insurance. He don’t care that profit can provide improved products & services. He don’t believe that competition help the consumers in getting better prices and products. Govt is god to him.
I’d rather have the …
I’d rather have the private hc profit and receive good quality products and services. Would you rather receive care at a state hc facility? Their facilities are dirtier an down right depressing. Remember, just because the govt promises medical insurance or hc, it doesn’t mean everyone will receive the needed hc. Death panels will eventually come to life and ration to those who are worthwhile or cheaper to treat.
I would like to …
I would like to repost the comment sent to me by cemott3rd as it is a prime example of how the liberal truly reacts when confronted with a lucid, factual response…
BTW jklsr55 I am 48 years old, American born, have lived in a half a dozen countries, been to 40+ more and speak several languages, so take your self rightous, patronizing, rightwing BullShit and American Idol watching/Kool Aid drinking references and shove them up your ass!
Ladies and gentleman I give you the typical liberal..
hoorano- Even if …
hoorano- Even if the Mass GOP win is a true reflection of the majority rejecting “govt run health care” (excluding Medicare of course, and this is all debatable) why would you celebrate the unchecked rule of? for profit only, corporate insurance company run healthcare? Ask any decent doctor, PA or nurse and they will tell you the dangers of this situation. Can you say bled to death? Sure ya can…..

jklsr55, Social Security and Mecicare have failed? Why then doesn’t the GOP run on the platform of dismantling these ‘failed programs’ then? Why? POLITICAL SUICIDE! If you had been paying attention the last 30 years you might know that US corporations care about one thing, PROFIT and little else. BTW Darth Cheney and his padawan did go to Iraq for the oil (and other military and political reasons) that is why one of the first things we tried to do was privatize the oil, but the Iraqies said NO!!
