I recently ran across this and wanted to share it with everyone.  I really had no idea that this was even being considered, it is really scary to think what would happen is this gets passed.  Please check out the information from the following web site.  They have a link so that you can send letters to your state representatives, senators, and such.  The addy is :

I just got a special report on this, researched and written by an ex-Texas politico name of David Hightower. 
 
Here are some interesting facts you can use to argue for reform of our current system, and for moving away from the current "Corporate care" method of obtaining and paying for medical service. 
 
The World Heath Organization raits the USA health care at number 37 in the world, one step above Slovenia, a former Soviet Bloc state.  We're number 42 in infant mortality, with 77 new babies who die each day.  And at the other end of life we're number 34. below Slovenia, for goodness sakes. 
 
There's more.  But I think that illistrates the point.  As long as the corporates insurance companies and drug companies control our health care system and political processes, we're going to be paying out the nose for health care. 
 
Love and healing hugs,
