Americans Speak on Health Reform
March 22nd, 2009 | 
Author: Below is a summery of the recent report put out by the Dept. of Health and Human Services. As a San Jose chiropractor, I realize that the state of health care directly affects both myself and my patients. For more information on patient advocacy groups and what took place go to www.healthreform.gov

In December 2008, the Presidential Transition Team invited Americans to host and participate in Health Care Community Discussions to talk about how to reform health care in America. Friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers, representing the views of both health care patients and providers, came together in homes, offices, coffee shops, fire houses, universities, and community centers with a common purpose: to discuss reforming the health care system. The Health Care Community Discussions focused on concerns about a “broken” health system, access to health insurance and services, rising premiums and drug costs, being “uninsurable,” medical mistakes, and the system not being “for them.” In 30,603 Participant Surveys, the top concerns were cost (55%), lack of emphasis on prevention (20%), pre-existing conditions limiting insurance access (13%), and concerns about the quality of care (12%). The Health Care Community Discussions offered a wide range of specific suggestions for fixing the system, including making health insurance more accessible through a public plan, creating scorecards on quality and cost, improving the nutritional content of school lunches, implementing electronic medical records, and creating an AmeriCorps for health workers.

Angry about Medicare Part D that does not help the middle class? You can do something about it.
I have a plan to fix the prescription drug benefit and more.
Get people to Send a free prewritten fax to Sen. Minority leader Mitch McConnell telling him to STOP EVERY REPUBLICAN FILIBUSTER, get the Employee Free Choice act enacted into law, along with single payer universal health care, a fix for the Medicare Prescription drug benefit, a 10 dollar an hour minimum wage, an end to the Iraq war and until that happens you will boycott some Republican campaign contributors.
You can go to www democratz org and send Mitch McConnell a free prewritten fax. This web site appears completely noncommercial. I don’t sell anything there.
We have to hit the friends of the GOP in their wallets. Oh and if you only send your fax, this will fail. You need to get friends to send the fax and have their friends send the free fax and so on.
Thank you!
