Contact your Senator (www.senate.gov), Congressperson (www.house.gov), There's a real bill in Congress -- let's get it passed!The United States National Health Insurance Act, H.R. 676 (“Expanded & Improved Medicare For All”) to ensure that every American, regardless of income, employment status, or race, has access to quality, affordable health care services. In 2003, Rep. Conyers first introduced HR 676, the United States National Health Insurance Act. Under HR 676, Medicare would be extended and improved so that all individuals residing in the United States would receive high quality and affordable health care services. They would receive all medically necessary services by the physicians of their choice, with no restrictions on what providers they could visit. If implemented, the United States National Health Insurance Act would cover primary care, dental, mental health, prescription drugs, and long term care. sponsored by John Conyers, MI http://www.house.gov/conyers/ Check out www.pnhp.org (Physicicians For A National Health Program) and www.healthcare-now.org for information, facts, inspiration and action!!!
