RE: For H.R. 676
Dear Gentlepersons:
Our most perplexing national problems are caused by our ruling class being in the grip of good old pleonexia (unbridled greed). We see the effects of this malady most strongly in our ever more dysfunctional defense, manufacturing, housing and medical care arrangements.
Michael Moore offers a new film called "Sicko" < http://www.michaelmoore.com/si... >, which shows how we acquired our present dysfunctional health care system and how to fix it < http://www.michaelmoore.com/si... >, with H.R. 676.
Please see the film, and then do what you can to advance this legislation: H.R. 676 -- "The United States National Health Insurance Act."
Please remember that:
'Lacking a national health system, "the U.S. occupies last place among the major industrialized countries ... in child mortality, life expectancy, and visits to the doctor," although it probably leads the world in politicians who talk about "family values."' ~ Paul Kennedy
(Please see: < http://www.americanprogress.or... >)
If you hold an elected office, please let me know if you do, or do not, support the ideas advanced by H.R. 676?
With every good wish,
John R. Cole
