Dennis Kuchinich – Health Care or Insurance Care? It’s Time to Respond!
Dear Friends,
The health care decision-making process in Washington is horribly tainted by the campaign contributions of insurance and pharmaceutical interests. Under the pay-to-play system health care becomes insurance care, the public option shrinks to irrelevance, the choice we are left: What kind of private, for-profit insurance do you want? This is not acceptable. We must respond now, and not settle for a plan which subsidizes insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies and sets the stage for the privatization of Medicare. We want Health Care for all the people, Medicare for All, which is exactly what the bill John Conyers and I wrote, HR 676, accomplishes. And the only way we will achieve it is to organize and take action in our communities to effect real change at a state and national level. Let us initiate immediately an action plan to intervene and provide health care for all:
- On-line petition. Please contact your lists, your family and friends. Please sign the petition for a single payer system. I will deliver the petitions directly to your Congressperson.
- Petition to download, print and circulate among friends and neighbors – including an instruction sheet.
- A National Health Care for All Conference Call from Washington, DC, at 10 pm EDT, Thursday, September 10th at 1-800-230-1096. Join us, so that we can discuss our new beginning and ways in which we can all help. Pre-registration is necessary in order to reserve sufficient phone lines. Please RSVP here. When you call in and the operator asks, “what conference call?” tell the operator, “Health Care for All.”
- Health Care Meet-Ups. Coming Thursday September 10 2009.
- Tell A Friend. Every email forwarded will make a difference? Please use the “Forward Email” link below to circulate up to 5 emails at a time to your friends.
I need your help to initiate this action. If you believe, as I do, that we can and must begin a new long-term state-by-state grassroots effort to create a single-payer, not-for-profit health care system, please contribute now at Kucinich.us

Where Conspiracy and Reality Collide 
I have done this and emailed and called my senators and congressmen. I also called Kucinich’s office and gave them a big thumbs up on this all the way from Florida, which ia state that, given its large elderly population, NEEDS HR676. Go Dennis!
Dennis – I have been a life long Democrat and Im old. I am afraid I have lost faith in my party and the system. Have you considered running as an independent in 2012? You would have my support and small finances. thanks Linda
Bought off. Un – AMERICAN. Should be fired today.
You went on the plane with the President. Weren’t you impressed. He was one on one with you. Shame on you for changing your vote!!!
