Hello!
First, I would like to acknowledge how powerful it is to be able to share information on a blog! I will do my best to provide you with news to use and things to consider.
Immediately below I have posted a letter that I submitted yesterday to the Ventura County Star and the Ojai Valley News.
Letter -
Have you EVER heard ANYBODY say that health insurance and health care are affordable in America? Me neither.
Our health care system is broken, has been so for a long time, and is bankrupting our Country.
We have tried the free-market approach, but greed, waste, and the absence of wellness and preventive care, have made it an expensive and abysmal failure. Since 2000, health insurance premiums have almost doubled and health care premiums have grown three times faster than wages.
It is not time for more of the same. It IS time for change. It is time to provide an affordable public option for health care.
Insurance companies, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, and providers, all big-money and big-lobbying players, just met with the President and offered to try to cut the 6% annual inflation of health care costs by 1.5 % per year. Such a deal. This offer is business as usual; more of the same.
Join “Health Care for America Now” to make certain that everyone in this Country has accessible, quality health care they can afford, and to guarantee coverage and real choice: keep your private insurance plan or join a new public health insurance plan so you are no longer at the mercy of the private insurance industry.
