   Hi,

   I keep thinking we have another window of opportunity to demand that Single Payer gets included in the summit on Feb. 24th or 25th.

   Dr. Margaret Flowers has done such a great job of making the case for SP, that I want to do something to keep it all going from Coast to Coast.

   And thoughts on all this from your headquarters?

   We need more common sense like Anthony Weiner’s. As he said, it’s a scare tactic by the private insurance monopolies to say Medicare for All will hurt our economy. By all measures it will help our economy overall by greatly reducing our healthcare costs while covering everyone. Healthcare in America must be a right, not a privelege.

   Dear Doctor Dean,

   “The fight isn’t over yet.” You are right, but that fight for Health Care Reform is for Single Payer. The Great Gods of Democratic Party Power have been afraid of that discussion, let alone fight for what is right from the beginning. Do you really expect me to support you now? When Public Option was first introduced, it was spun as if it
   might have merit. Then, we came to realize it is just a way to funnel more profits to the Insurance Companies and Big Pharma. Most people admit that these corporations are the major cause of the Health care problem, but they have overwhelming power and they keep winning their fights. It is no
   different today.

   Howard, you can sell out, the Democrats can sellout. I do intend to keep up the right fight for Health Care Reform alright, if I have to do it alone. Better to fight for Single Payer than to allow my name be added to the list as another sell out of true health care reform.

   Many people fear the power of two Parties. Forgive us, but some of us question both the power and who it really serves.

   Respectfully,
   Jack Smith
