Today’s single payer post, California dreaming

Californians can be real proud so have elected so many sponsors of HR 676.

Barbara Lee

I have reintroduced H.R. 3080, the United States Universal Health Service Act. This bill will specifically make high-quality preventive, acute and long term care available to everyone regardless of demographics, employment status, or previous health status. This health care service creates an entitlement to high-quality health care and supplemental services without charge and without discrimination based on race, sex, age, religion, language, income, employment status, sexual orientation, or previous health status. It also stresses prevention and wellness.

In addition to supporting HR 676 George Miller also stands up for abused teenagers.

Grace Napolitano is working to expand access to mental health care.

Laura Richardson writes a letter to the President:

Dear Mr. President,
Our healthcare system is in crisis and you have done NOTHING to fix the problem. In fact, your policies consistently favor health insurance companies and big drug companies, at the expense of average Americans. I believe that access to high-quality healthcare is a right, not a privilege. That's why, as the new Congressmember from the 37th District of California, I'll fight for universal, affordable, accessible and quality healthcare for all.

1. Universal Health Insurance for ALL Americans
2. Start by Insuring Every Child
3. Invest in prevention
4. Modernize Patient Records Management
5. Respect the Elderly
6. End Racial and Ethnic Disparities
7. Advocate for Public's Health
8. Train More Healthcare Professionals
9. Decrease the Cost of Prescription Drugs
10. Improve Trauma and Emergency Care

Lucille Roybal-Allard has been working hard to stop underage drinking and end domestic violence.

Linda Sanchez names access to healthcare as the top of her issues.

Loretta Sanchez opposed the hideous medcaire part D.

Maxine Waters wants a national strategy to combat HIV/AIDS.

Diane Watson is working hard to address community health disparities.

Lynn Woolsey was the first member of congress to call for us to get out of Iraq. I guess she would rather build emergency rooms in her district than kill people in Iraq. Radical.

Xavier Becerra supports stem cell research.

Howard Berman points out that we spend more per capita than anyone else and millions do not have access to health care.

Sam Farr is working to protect the ocean as well as expand access to health care.

Bob Filner thinks patients and doctors should make decisions, not insurance companies. What a concept.

Michael Honda wants to pass a real patient’s bill of rights.
