Health Care for All

Faces of Health Care Reform: Russell Axelson

Posted by Jonah on June 16, 2009 at 05:37 PM

Like millions of Americans, Russ lost his health insurance when he was laid off from his job. Russ turned to his church to help pay for his medications while he was out of work.

Organizing for America has collected hundreds of thousands of personal health care stories. The grassroots effort is building support in communities across the country for a plan that adheres to President Obamas three principles for reform: lowering costs, preserving patient choice and increasing access to quality care.

We need a public option; not another scam like "co-opts".

Honorable President and Legislators,

Why do legislators on both sides of the aisle think OUR tax dollars is their money? Since when I ask? Use our existing pie of tax dollars to insure all in the USA for 24/7 health care! Cut off wasteful corporate welfare and spend OUR tax dollars on OUR medical insurance.

Don't force employers to pay one thin dime! There are plenty of tax dollars in DC to cover all of us. Yes this National Health Insurance concept is the most practical and comprehensive in this nations history.Tax dollars come from the hard working people NOT from the government. It's time to give peoples tax dollars back to the tax paying people.

Yes to National Health Insurance. It’s a wise investment in the people and america!

Remember RATIONING is what the medical insurance industry has been offering for many decades. The level of care is dependent on how much money one is able to put on the table. This is no question about it corporate american style rationing and/or class warfare.

What could be more american than allowing USA people to pay for THEIR OWN insurance with THEIR OWN tax dollars?

HR 676 would cover every person for all necessary medical care plus end deductibles and co-payments = more expendable cash for ourselves and/or our families. Now we’re talking dollars and sense.


The government( all those wealthy elected officials) gets free health insurance which is why ALL OF US should have OUR health insurance covered by OUR tax dollars just like 60% of those who are insured which comes to $1.2 trillion.

Just think how much more efficient $1.2 trilion health insurance tax dollars can be spent by covering all USA people instead of only 60% of those with insurance. Now we are talking like efficient, fiscally responsible, dollars and sense conservatives.

Further it will end bankrupt cases due to medical bills thus reducing the number of people requiring social services = more common sense fiscally responsible conservative thinking.
