Today is September 28, only two more days remain. What has happened to Nancy Pelosi’s promised September vote on HR676? Does Healthcare-Now have an update?

Call and fax everyone on the committee.

I can’t find any updates since Friday on whether he introduced the amendment or not.

Has this vote happened yet? Is it too late to call on Monday 7/27? I’m from Indiana and my Rep is not on the Energy and Finance committee, but several other Indiana Reps are on the committee. Does it make sense to call them as well as Waxman?

Our fight for equal access to healthcare for all is about democracy, freedom, human rights, civil rights, and basic human decency.

KEEP CALLING AND FAXING!

I just checked the Committee’s web page. It shows that they are adjourned for today. I think this means that we have another day to make our voices heard.

The news today is talking a lot about mandates. That really burns me. Forcing the people to buy a for-profit product, thereby funding the corruption of our government by corporate lobbyists, is about as un-American as it gets!

I missed all this. I must be too late. What happened?
This is so frustrating. I don’t understand the huge blind spot in the “it costs too much” headlights – we are paying outrageous fees now to insurance companies that are bargaining with our representatives for lifetime contracts and 0 competition!

I called.
I shared with friends on facebook.
I posted on my blog.
Only other thing I can think to do is stand on the corner and let people use my phone to call their reps…
