Today's single payer post, Letter to the Editor

Submitted by DCblogger on Sat, 2008-05-17 10:24.

The Cumberland Times News gets a letter:

I feel my responsibility is not only to my six children, my parents, and one day my grandkids but also for the millions of patients unfortunately caught in this dysfunctional medical arena.

I support HR 676 and will continue to be an advocate for it. “Affordable” universal healthcare is a contradiction in context. Affordable isn’t universal. Who decides affordability? The government, making well into six figures?

… I met a physician who is passionately committed to single payer at the memorial service (taking a break from the catering here) and I was actually about to nod intelligently when HR 676 was mentioned.

PNHP. You probably linked to it, but I stash here for reference…

I don’t think I have linked to that one yet. I hope to get to everything by the election The thing is, when you talk about single payer, it sounds so pie in the sky that it is easy for politicians and editors to call it unrealistic. But when you talk about HR 676 with 78 sponsors, then it is something concrete, then the conversation changes. I hope others, more gifted than I, will start blogging about this.
