Uninsured figures show mandate-based health reforms don't work

More evidence that what our representatives are working on just won't fix the problem. If we don't fight it we are going to be stuck with expensive mandated healthcare. Do we really want to be required to purchase overpriced insurance from the very companies that have been screwing us for years? The Mafia couldn't come up with a bigger rip off than what they have in mind for us.

    • That is an excellent characterization and one that i have often used to describe these slime balls. The Health Insurance Mafia shoving expensive insurance down the throat of every American. Talk about Big Brother.

      I say Fuck That!!!!!!!!

      30% already gets taken out of most working poor's paychecks. Now when I say working poor, I mean people who individually make less than 25K per year. Insurance premiums are already taking as much as 20% more already. Housing, energy, and basic technology takes up 30% more and then you still have to factor in Food, Transportation.

      Whatever final bill emerges and stands a chance of passing has to have a way for those who are mandated, not be mandated out of existence.

      "Some may have thought us overly alarmist when we warned you last week that UNLESS you speak out now, the IRS would soon be pounding on your door demanding thousands of dollars for overpriced corporate health insurance.

      Well it sure didn't take them long to propose just exactly that. Today Max Baucus, the original made man of the medical mafia, suggested a $3,800 FINE against anyone who refuses to buy whatever "for the corporations only" medical plan they finally come up.

      If you are not outraged yet, if you don't feel totally betrayed by our so-called representatives, one has to wonder what it would take. So we ask you again, speak out now, before they ram through the most hideous caricature of medical care reform bill imaginable. Here is the new email action page.

      And here again is the new blog resource where you can make notes for others to read about your phone calls to Congress in support of the real health care reform bill, HR 676, Medicare for all.

      HR676 Phone Lobby Page: http://www.peaceteam.net/lobby.php

      Some of you have written us and told us you don't make phone calls. Well maybe, just maybe, it's time you made ONE at least. And on the new phone lobby page are all the latest tested good toll free numbers for you to use, plus an "Easy policy points" link right there at your finger tips if you need the best arguments on what to say. It even looks up all your members of Congress for you.

      Can't do that even? OK, how about Facebook, are you on Facebook? Here is the same action page over there."
