The health care industry is spending $1.4 million dollars per day to lobby against reform ($126 million in just the first quarter). This is precisely why our "representatives" (Democrats and Republicans) aren't seriously considering the only sensible way to provide high-quality health care in America""a tried and tested single-payer system.

Our "representatives" are diligently keeping single-payer "off the table" for one reason only: single-payer would easily win in any honest, open debate. Once again our "representatives" are selling us out to special interests.

A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right-Thomas Paine

Private insurance for necessary health care is just plain wrong and it's been just plain wrong for a very long time.

We the people must unite and take back our government-it surely won't be given back voluntarily.
