Health Care is a Right, Not a Privilege
Target: U.S. SenateSponsored by: Gillibrand for Senate
In the world's wealthiest nation, it's unconscionable that people are turned away from health care coverage because of a pre-existing condition and that families are just one illness away from bankruptcy!
Opening up a not-for-profit public health plan like a "Medicare for all" to all Americans will ensure that every American has access to quality, affordable health care regardless of his or her income.
Health care is a right and every American deserves affordable, high-quality coverage. Urge your Senators to support real health care reform that includes a not-for-profit public option.

A public option will compete with the private insurance industries and drive premiums down.

I believe it is the ONLY way at this time to put a 'check' on out of control insurance rates. I will be deeply disappointed in those who do not support this and will most certainly not vote for them again! It is clear you all are out of touch with those of us struggling at the bottom!

I have been waiting 25 years for health insurance. Every year, private health insurance options get worse. I can't afford health insurance at any cost. Don't make me buy crappy private insurance. Please don't make me wait 8 more years to buy into Medicare...I probably still won't be able to afford it! |

45,000 people die in America each year, and thousands are forced into economic ruin for lack of affordable healthcare. This is, frankly, unacceptable. We can and should do better.

Because Historially in America our economic system has evolved from a supply and demand system with a large pool of suppliers that were driven by competition to keep prices fair and in check. Today the Corporations have gained majority marketshare and the pricing has devolved into gross profit taking with the standard of fair profits set by the Monopolistic Mulitinationals. In a Nut Shell,when the Basic Human Right of Life as defined by good Health and insured by acess to affordable health care are controlled by Greedy Profit Mongering Corporations, We as a Nation will continue to watch untold thousands of our Fellow Americans Die unnecessariliy

For one of the World leaders, it is a crying shame that we are the only major country without a health plan covering all. To bankrupt families by making only private insurance available ,with severe restrictions, shows a contempt for residents,and a proliferation of coporate greed.

With the amount of power and technology we have, health care should be a right. We all live here together and should care about everyones well being not just ourselves.

As one of the most developed countries in the world, healthcare should be available to EVERY citizen. I strongly urge you to take whatever steps necessary to make this a reality.
