Fresh on the heels of his successful 50 state strategy, former Vermont Governor Howard Dean has today launched a nationwide drive to get grass-roots Americans activated to support real health care reform. Contrary to what the health insurance industry would have you believe, millions of Americans want and need the option to buy-in to Medicare-type insurance coverage because they can't get or can't afford private health insurance coverage. Dr. Dean clearly stated that without the Medicare option for any American, we won't have meaningful health care reform. Health insurance rates have escalated dramatically for years now, and many Americans who have lost long-held jobs, or whose medical history is not pure enough have found themselves unable to qualify for any comprehensive coverage or else they simply cannot afford the monthly premiums or the high deductibles.
As President Obama has stated many times, if you like your present health insurance policy, you can keep it. Neither The President nor Governor Dean are opposed to your right to keep your current insurance policy. But if you need a different choice-better coverage or a more affordable option, a Medicare-type policy provided by the Federal Government should be available for you and your family.
Tonight, I spent two or three minutes on-line at Dr. Howard Dean's new web site
www.standwithDrDean.com and I signed his petition to demand a public healthcare option like Medicare for any American who needs it. You can watch his video on-line and read the petition, but I hope for your sake that you will sign his petition and join thousands of Americans in demanding the option that will make health insurance affordable again for every working American. You don't have to contribute any money and you don't have to volunteer anything, but I hope you'll feel the same way I do...This is one of the most important issues facing Americans, even in this year of crisis upon crisis. I contributed to Dr. Dean's organization and I signed up to volunteer because I'm sick and tired of having my health and my family's health and my ten employee's health jeopardized by some insurance company's greed.
It's up to you! Do you deserve decent health coverage? Are you sick and tired of being jerked around by some faceless insurance company bureaucrat? Don't be fooled by the insurance lobby, this isn't about socialism, it's democracy in action! Step up, demand real reform! Demand a REAL CHOICE! Sign the petition! |
