Dear [recipient name was inserted here],The insurance companies are so afraid of this option they even recruited a major Medicare fraudster as their spokesman. And if you currently have insurance, remember, they are paying for that crook with your premium dollars.
Our healthcare delivery system is in need of urgent reform. As the
profits of HMOs and the salaries of their CEOs increase each year, so do
the number of Americans who are dying and falling ill because they lack
healthcare coverage.
Below are some frightening facts:
* At least 18,000 Americans die each year from lack of healthcare coverage.
* 80%of Americans who lack healthcare coverage are families with one or
more jobs. * More than 50% of bankruptcies occur due to medical bills and
half of those had private medical insurance at the time the illness/injury
occurred. * Of all nations, the US spends the most on healthcare, 14.6% of
GDP. * At 60%, the US has the highest rate of people who believe their
health system should be reformed. * The spiraling costs of healthcare are
negatively impacting American businesses making it difficult to compete
globally.
Interestingly, we're already paying for a national healthcare system;
we're just not getting it. History will not look kindly upon elected
officials who put corporate profits above the public health.
I urge you to co-sponsor HR 676, The United States National Healthcare
Insurance Act, sponsored by Rep. John Conyers. I'm an active voter who is
among the majority of Americans who want a national healthcare system, and
I'll remember your position on this issue next Election Day.
Sincerely,
