2. I wrote my rep, Patrick Murphy, telling him to co-sponsor it

he actually (or someone on his staff) wrote back to me. Said he is working towards a better system and what that will be is hard to tell right now. I respect him for at least writing back, which is the only elected official to have ever written me back.

Anyway I think with enough support he might be able to go along with it. He is a Blue Dog Dem so that is probably why he won't sponsor it right now.

Current sponsors I believe:

3. "he is working towards a better system"-- sounds rather suspicious to me.

"better"-- for whom?

5. I agree, if he is holding out for a system the Health Insurers

can stomach, no thanks.

I told him my wife works in a Hospital and I work in the Health Industry as well and we both think H.R.676 is the just way to go. Even if it hurts us financially. Which I don't think it would.

7. I hope more come on board.

Its sad to see when Americans have to sneak into Canada to get treatment. I am not being sarcastic or mean either. I feel for those people.
