1. That poll is useless...

Post Poll - Health Care
The U.S. Senate is supposed to begin working on major federal health care legislation this week. Are you optimistic that Congress can arrive at a workable solution to the issue?
Yes
No
I'm not sure

How is this meaningful?

2. I agree...

what is it supposed to say or tell anyone. The question is useless and so are the responses.

What might constitute a workable solution? I guess that depends on whether you are an insurance company that wants to continue their death by spreadsheet policy or whether you are a citizen dying from lack of health care.

3. Our 'representatives' need some DU love

Now is the Time: DEMAND Not-For-Profit Health Care!

TAKE ACTION NOW: Before Wednesday, April 22

House Ways and Means Chairman Charles B. Rangel (D-NY) announced that the Committee will hold another hearing in a series on reforming the health insurance market.

The hearing will take place at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, April 22, and will focus on strategies to reform the health insurance market to ensure greater accessibility and affordability
Healthcare-NOW! and allied organizations have been requesting fair hearings that include the single-payer

Help us make sure that Chairman Rangel hears us loud and clear. Call his office now (toll free at 866-338-1015) to request they invite expert single-payer witnesses to testify.

If you can't call, you can easily email him here.

To date, single-payer is the only reform that will cover everyone and contain healthcare costs. Anything less will not achieve these goals.

4. What is it that you think is the "correct" vote? nt

[Froward69]

5. YES

legislature can come up with something viable.

[LWolf]

6. They can, but I predict that they won't.

There are already viable options on the table; HR 676 and something that Sanders introduced in the Senate.

I'm predicting that Congress will not have the courage or integrity to pass either of those; that it will be some version of pandering to for-profit insurance that we end up with.

7. More important than the vote are the stupid comments.

The majority are banging the old "healthcare in Canada is bad" drum.
