[PAA-Discuss] Demand a vote on single-payer

[Juli3 at aol.com]

Big insurance just keeps making us  sicker.

 
(http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=CTh6Ka2rm33WnT/j3ffRiuQk62ly4BE7)  Tell your Rep. to demand a vote on  single-payer!
Our  private-health-insurance-industry-dominated system permits 45 million  
people to live without health insurance, denying them access to  
preventative and routine care, resulting in the death of at least 35,000  people a 
year. Nothing in the health care reform bill before the House  of 
Representatives will end the domination of the insurance industry and  the profiteering 
in health care. But there is a proposal that would  truly provide health care 
for all - a single-payer  bill.

Will House leadership allow a vote on  the single-payer bill? Call now  and 
tell your representative that you support health care for all, and  that 
the single-payer bill must be on the  table!

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) wants to offer an  amendment based on H.R. 
676, originally introduced by Rep. Conyers  (D-Mich.), that would transform the 
inadequate House health care package  into a health-care-for-all, 
single-payer plan that would cover everyone.  Right now, House leadership is deciding 
which amendments will be allowed  a vote, and it's possible single-payer 
could be shut out -  again.

Call your representative now by dialing the  Capitol switchboard at (202) 
224-3121 and demand a vote on the Weiner  Amendment on single-payer! The vote 
could be as early as Monday, so  please call today!

There  has never been a vote in the full House or Senate on a single-payer  
system, largely due to the stranglehold the health care industry has on  
our elected officials. The health care industry is spending $1.4 million  a 
day lobbying Congress, not to mention the millions it spends in  campaign 
contributions. It's time to allow a vote for the people on  health care for all.

Call (202) 224-3121 and tell your  representative to demand a vote on Rep. 
Weiner's single-payer amendment  and then to vote YES!

Thank you for  all you do!
