It’s here! Well, almost. Ted Kennedy has plans to unveil a universal health care bill. We had written about this earlier. Unfortunately, we do not know the details of this plan. But it’s amazing that a plan is here. A plan from a respected, long time Senator. We’ve seen many plans; we supported Dennis Kucinich’s plan. If this plan does get passed, remember HR 676 has been in Congress for awhile, it signals that we’ve made change that was promised upon in this election. Universal Health Care is needed. One person who signed our petition wrote:
We need a HEALTH CARE and PRESCRIPTIONS program that all americans can afford not just the rich. I cant afford to have insurance because it will take just about my whole paycheck. I live day by day just like millions of other red blooded americans. I am so tired of working my butt off and not being able to afford to get sick because i cant affford to go to the DR. But let a foreigner come to america and see how fast things are handed to them on a sliver platter. I was born in this supose to be a Great Country. For who the foreigners not the american people at all. We need a damn good health plan and pers. care that everyone can afford not just the rich. They can pay out of pocket and wouldnt effect them in one bit. I pay out of pocket there goes bill money or food money out of my pocket. We need a real good affordable coveage that is not going to cost us a whole weeks paycheck.
That just makes this health care crisis so personal. This person could be your neighbor. If Kennedy’s plan passes, America will gain for it.
