Universal Health Care: It's Time

With the leading Democratic candidates for president united in one way or another around the idea of providing health care for the insurance industry, it's important that the only real proposal to establish genuinely universal health care, HR-676 -- The Expanded and Improved Medicare For All Act, introduced by Reps. John Conyers and Dennis Kucinich with the support of over 70 congressional cosponsors so far, get everyone's full support. (Go to the Physicians for a National Health Plan website for more information and links.)

Whether or not he or she is among the cosponsors, contact your rep to let them know you support passage of the bill in this Congress, before another president steps up with a bogus plan.

And if you are active as a volunteer or donor in the Clinton, Edwards or Obama campaigns, now is a good time to inform them that you think it's way past time for this country to provide its citizens with true publicly supported universal health care.
