Get on the Bus for Health Care Reform
Please, take the day off of work. Call in sick. Do whatever it takes to get on the bus to DC. We know what we’re up against- Democrats like Max Baucus who are in bed with the Big Insurance companies. Time to show them what they’re up against:
Take the day off from work!

Get on the Bus for Real Health Care ReformCALL 325-2560
If you don’t have your own nightmare story about health insurance companies I’m sure you know somebody who does.
We need publicly financed health care.
Call 325-2560 to reserve your seat on the bus to DC.
The insurance companies have launched an all out war against health care reform. President Obama has left the door open for reform. What that reform will be? That depends on how strong the grassroots can be in our demands.
The insurance companies have the money but we have the numbers.
Will Washington DC turn around and support Single Payer? Will Congress craft a meaningful public option? Or will we get stuck with a system that subsidizes the insurance companies? Will Blue Dog Democrats and Republicans be able to torpedo the whole reform effort?
We’ll only get what we are strong enough to demand.
Join tens of thousands of your friends & neighbors from across the country to demand that Congress pass Real Health Care Reform Now!

Go to DC if you can
I am a health insurance agent in Utah. I sit on the board of the Utah health underwriters as webmaster for http://www.benefitsmanager.net/ and http://www.uahu.org/. I was heavily involved in designed a web connector to help Utah residents by pulling private and state sponsored insurance mechanisms together. It had a low budget of around $150k that virtually guaranteed health insurance coverage through either the private or state programs. Better yet all the local carriers agreed to split the costs. Our state insurance task force committee rejected the idea. They elected to go for a Massachusetts type connector program that isn’t working well when you actually dig deep and check facts of where they are now. Our state approved H.B. 188 with a zero fiscal note attachment! My point is, I have been a fly on the wall in countless legislative meetings, insurance board meetings, hospital board meetings, the list goes on. The problem is conflict with the market demanding profit in all sectors of the system. Tough order to fill and keep costs down? You are absolutely right when you claim that healthcare is now unsustainable. I have been crying that a long time. Nobody listens.
