Support Single Payer for States
Another message to Congressman Paul Sarbanes.
Please vote to retain the Kucinich amendment to H.R. 3200 that would allow states to establish their own single-payer health care plans.
I am a supporter of the National Organization for Women which, since 1993, has supported a single-payer health care plan as the best way to meet women's health needs, while covering everyone in the U.S. at affordable rates. States must be allowed to adopt single-payer plans to bring down spiraling health care costs and to meet the needs of all their residents.
This would ensure coverage for all Americans. No one should be denied coverage for preexisting conditions or be forced into bankruptcy due to insurmountable medical bills. It would stop the insurance industry from putting profits before people. It would bring down costs and help the economy. Health insurance is a right, not a privilege.
I will be watching your vote on this critically-important issue and hope that you will support this amendment.
