So why won't our elected Democrats in Washington fight for a single-payer system that will cover everyone? Especially when it's the only system that will actually save money by eliminating 30% in utterly wasted overhead from greedy insurance giants? A dedicated group of 86 Democrats are fighting for single-payer ( H.R. 676 ), and they need our help today. The battle over single-payer is in the House Energy & Commerce Committee (E&C). The committee was supposed to vote on Rep. Anthony Weiner's single-payer amendment on Monday, but chairman Henry Waxman keeps postponing the vote because it might pass - just like the Kucinich Amendment for a single-payer state option passed on July 17 by a shocking 25-19 bi-partisan majority.

But if they all vote for it, it will pass! See if you can convince them. Also, be sure to send our Single Payer petition to your
Representatives, and forward it to everyone you know who needs and
deserves better healthcare: And finally if you can be in DC on Thursday July 30, join
us to celebrate the 44th birthday of Medicare and rally/lobby for
