All the stories from our macabre for-profit financed health care system are an affront to human dignity and reflect on our ability (or lack thereof) to take care of our own citizens.
Our health care system is a national tragedy and current legislation will do little to change it.
These sit-ins are good.
We need to find additional ways to initiate struggles to bring people into so we can advance real heal care reform not this phony health insurance reform.
Did the American people elect a President or a sick-talking health insurance salesman?
The time has come for the American people to enforce accountability at the polls to broaden out this movement for real health care reform.
Accountability is enforced by telling Barack Obama and these other Dumb Donkeys who killed single-payer that we want something in return for going to the polls in 2010 and 2012.
No single-payer; no votes.
This is the kind of accountability these politicians will understand.
Fill the jails and don’t show up at the polls… let’s see how quickly these politicians put single-payer back on the legislative agenda… after all, people voted thinking they were going to be getting health care reform; not health insurance reform.

I keep waiting for someone in the House or Senate to step forward with another bill, even a more modest sounding piece of legislation to either strictly regulate the health insurance industry or, preferably, expand Medicare, even incrementally, to age 55, then 50, etc.
In California, the progressive base is telling Jerry Brown, the most-likely man to be our next Governor, that we look forward to him signing the single-payer bill. He’s not there yet, at least not publicly.
To make it easier for him to sign such a bill, we need the Kucinich amendment back in the federal bill. That’s why I am running a commercial at my website: winograd4congress.com calling on Washington to, at the very least, give states the right to enact single-payer health care for all.
Please consider supporting my congressional campaign challenge to Blue Dog corporate Democrat Jane Harman.
California’s 36th district deserves real representation. And that’s why I am in the running.
Onward in peace,

Thanks Ms. Winograd, for having the strength of character to run on expanding Medicare to all.
As we continue our perilous climb to 20% of GDP spent on health care with no substantive reform or cost controls, we need strong voices for the only fiscally responsible solution to our national health care tragedy.
Good luck on your race.
