Declare your support for healthcare

I find it absurd we live in a modern country and fail to provide universal health care to all of our citizens. Every other modern country provides this service and most have better health care then the US.

Yet after talking with co-workers (mostly republican) they have nothing but negative things to say about it. Republicans are masters of scare tactics, it will cost too much, we will all become communists, no one will have to work if they provide health care. All of this will result in the total demise of our way of life in the US. With all of this hate mongering and fear I think there is a good chance this plan is dead on arrival.

Estimated cost of the health care plan it 60 billion and in a world where we spend 500+ billion on ways to kill people this does not seem like a large price tag.

To quote Obama "a better opportunity to remake the nation's health care system may not arise for generations."
  • Reduce Costs — Rising health care costs are crushing the budgets of governments, businesses, individuals and families and they must be brought under control
  • Guarantee Choice — Every American must have the freedom to choose their plan and doctor – including the choice of a public insurance option
  • Ensure Quality Care for All — All Americans must have quality and affordable health care
