Wonderful site that is part of the Battle.....
( this is the group that had Keifer Sutherland make the Tommy Douglas Video about HCR,but the sound on that over at Youtube has been dismantled)

UK Paper really nails the Obama Dilemma.... ( How pathetic that only UK and Foreign papers report our Healthare Crisis better than Americans)

{4} Proposal for New rules that would pay for HCR By Senate Finance Committee, mainly crafted by Baucus I am still reading to determine if this is an effective solution, or just window dressing, there is NO Public Plan at all, and No Public Option.

Tonight CandleLight PublicOption Can't Wait Vigils, 7:30PM Click the Link,362 Scheduled.....

Do Click the Title to find out where a Vigil is planned near you. Also do read the post below, again we need to save the Public Option, it is going to come down to people like you and me to fight for 50 Million Americans that have NO healthcare.
The Facts are Ugly:
50 Million and Counting have NO healthcare.
22,000 Per Year die with NO Care, >179,000 in past 8 years.
That Means 60 die per day with No healthcare.
14,000 Per Day Lose Healthcare, that is 400,000/month
More than 70% of ALL bankruptcies are due to Medical Debt.
To put it Simply The Public Option Would Save Lives.
50 Million Lives have already been Compromised Waiting for Care.
We Can't Afford to Wait......

Jonathon Alter kicks ass in this piece about WHY we need HealthCare Reform...Very Tongue N'Cheek...will make you think...

With the Cynical Razor Sharp Humor of a cancer survivor he nails the Lunacy of the Blue Dogs and Repugs and how selfish and narrowminded they are....
Snippet::::
"Why should I be entitled to the same insurance that members of Congress get? Blue Dogs need a lot of medical attention to treat their blueness. I'm just a regular guy and definitely deserve less.I had cancer a few years ago. I like the fact that if I lose my job, I won't be able to get any insurance because of my illness. It reminds me of my homeowners' insurance, which gets canceled after a break-in. I like the choice I'd face if, God forbid, the cancer recurs—sell my house to pay for the hundreds of thousands of dollars in treatment, or die. That's what you call a "post-existing condition."

HR Plan 3200 : Please Go and Look at YOUR District and see what is being planned for Healthcare Reform

Annette posted this Attached Link over on her Blog and sadly it has not gotten enough focus, because the MSM would rather focus on the Senate Finance Committee's infighting....It is a cumbersome huge heavy lifting of a bill....and needs to be seen...and read and absorbed....If one reads how it would help his or her community that is where it starts to resonate on it's impact and problem solving capabilities....It would help small businesses, Underemployed and UnderInsured. It is Detailed and well worked, and does address many parts of the Crisis....

14,000 People a Day are Losing Healthcare, 583 An Hour, That is Called a Healthcare Crisis, AND YET DC is going on Vacation???? WHY?

(reposted from July 24th...)
WHAT THE HELL ??? Can we fire Reid and Pelosi NOW ? And Baucus and His damned Conflict of Interest that is lining his pockets? Right Now ? Damnit....Healthcare is not a Privilege, it is a Right. 14,000 people a DAY are losing their Healthcare RIGHT NOW. That translates to 583 an HOUR.That is 420,000 a month, and 5,040,000 A YEAR. This does NOT include the 52 Million ALREADY without Healthcare, that does not include the next 500,000 that will lose jobs over the next 2 Monthes. This does not include the ONE in Five Children without Healthcare, or the Millions that have already lost Insurance due to Pre-existing Conditions or Illness, or Millions that have lost Homes due to Medical Billing. Supposedly 110 Million Have Insurance, how many are UnderInsured ? How many are still paying thousands out of pocket per year ? How Many are struggling to pay Premiums that are rising faster than their rate of pay ? How many are working multiple jobs to pay for insurance? How many are sacrificing FOOD and Meds to pay Medical Bills ? And can ANY of the DEMS can answer these Questions ? Here's an Idea, Let's Cancel ALL of the Insurance for the House and Congress- make them all go out and try to get Real Insurance, Single Payer, and see how it goes...Oh, and By the Way, 2000 per month, Atleast, are Dying Without Healthcare....Dying in America.

I know of two neighbors that died on my street this year...in their homes...without care...that is my reality, and that does not count all of my neighbors that are losing their jobs and homes and health care...and health. This is My America.....As a Nurse, as an UnInsured Nurse, I am Fed up....

Every day I get Five Emails Selling me Life Insurance and Cemetary Plans.....Never Health Insurance...so is the message that people are worth more dead than alive at this point ? Over at the Sidebar at the top there are American Health Stories- this is the wall of Stories that the Obama Administration has been collecting from around the Country...they are amazing..
