About Me

Pretty please write to your congresswomen and men and urge them to support H.R. 676 a bill before congress for non-profit national health insurance. There are currently 88 sponsors and only 100 is needed to lead to a vote on the bill.

Medical bills are the leading cause of bankruptcies in this country . While CEOs of insurance companies are getting fat paycheks , US citizens are being dumped on the streets and people who've worked hard to pay for insurance are having legitimate claims denied . For-profit healthcare doesn't work!
