Will you be a 'socialist' on the day that 'earning' your health insurance is not enough?

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Funky how the nay-sayers push this idea of "free" health care that no rational person is talking about or envisioning, let alone proposing. It's really great how all they have any argument against are the very straw men that only they create.

Dear Mr. Bill:

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on improving healthcare. I

appreciate you taking the time to communicate your perspective with me

on this important matter.

We must reform our health care system to provide high quality and

affordable health care for everyone. At least 46 million Americans are

now uninsured. By the end of the day, 14,000 more Americans will lose

their coverage. Health care expenses for the average family of four are

projected to jump $1,800 yearly. Congress has held hearings and listened

to the recommendations of many stakeholders, including doctors,

patients, and employers and these viewpoints have been very important

in shaping a health care reform bill. I have supported various federal

initiatives, such as H.R. 676, the U.S. National Health Insurance Act,

which calls for a single payer national health insurance system. If we are

unable to create a single payer system, then we must have a robust public

plan option that can compete with private plans to bring down the cost of

health insurance and give patients the choice between a public or private

plan.

The Committees on Education and Labor, Ways and Means, and Energy

and Commerce each reported out a slightly different version of H.R.

3200, America's Affordable Health Choices Act. These versions of the

bill will be combined and brought to the House Floor for a vote. I'm

expecting that the final legislation will retain a robust public option.

You can count on me to continue to be an outspoken voice for universal

healthcare and for measures to ensure quality, accessible, affordable

health care for all.

Again, it's good to hear from you. The people of Marin and Sonoma

counties are the most important voices I listen to as I serve in Congress.

Sincerely,

Lynn Woolsey

Member of Congress

The Progressive Coalition, of which Lynn Woolsey is the co-chair, is still pushing the Single Payer option, which is technically, "free healthcare for all". H.R. 676, the U.S. National Health Insurance Act, will get a vote on the floor, during the healthcare debate in late October. That vote has been guaranteed by the Speaker.

We all know that single payer isn't free. And the vote it'll get is more of a symbolic act - unfortunately.

Nothing the government does is "free", but I support the idea that healthcare is a goverment service, like the police and fire department, not "insurance" that you either have, or you don't.
