Still unacceptable to vote yes as of March 19, 2010…Mandating everyone to pay for health insurance (including small businesses) or else pay penalties? That sounds extortion to me! What if your one of the 40 million who are uninsured and unemployed and also no money left after paying just the rent, food, basic clothing and transportation? double whammy! Where else these people get the money upfront to purchase health insurance? High interest loans? Your bailing out the banks and health insurance companies again!!!
AMEND THIS CLAUSE BEFORE VOTING YES AND CREATE SOME EXCEPTIONS!!!

MArching on Washington is out of reach for some of us.
What do you think of organizing a Nationwide “Stay-home-from-work Day as we get into these weeks of President Obama focusing on health reform? Is anyone really satisfied that a potential passing by 51% majority will solve our ailing health system woes?

Let’s show our elected officials that we really do believe that universal health care is a fundamental human right. That we don’t support there bi-partisan scuffles.

I don’t have any answers but don’t even see the right questions being asked in Washington. This a nation by the people and for the people? Why don’t the people have health care?

Give them your vote for health care by staying home from work on March 22. To join a National Sit in and help to spread the word please email: dragonfly.marcia(at)gmail (dotcom)

Watching the discussion in MSNBC…

Here is my comment so far: They are not even talking about health care coverage for the chronically unemployed, chronically underemployed, and chronically temporary workers who cannot really afford anything because they are very careful of giving out to health insurance companies whatever money they have left. How can the health reform cover them?

They are not even talking about those healthy but financially poor people who give up and don’t trust health insurance companies anymore. Therefore, they may never purchase again health insurance. Those who are healthy want value – first dollars & medical testing/preventative coverage before any deductibles.
