The health care crisis is crippling the United States. We need affordable health care and universal access to single-payer health care.
| 1/3 | The portion of the population that is uninsured or underinsured in the United States. |
| 34,000 | The number of people that would be insured by the salary of the CEO of United Health Group who makes $122.7 million a year. |
| 37th | Rank of the United States among industrialized countries in health care system performance according to a report by WHO, the World Health Organization. The U.S. is ranked 54th in fairness while Cuba is ranked 23rd in that category. According to the report, the U.S. has a higher mortality rate than Cypress and Slovenia. |
| 101,000 | People have died unnecessarily in the United States every year for the past five years due to lack of health insurance. |
The solution
| 3.3% | The percentage of each employee’s paycheck to pay for Health Care. Employers pay a modest 4.5% payroll tax. Under a Single Payer System 95% of the American people will save money on health care costs. No copays, no deductibles. |
| 0$ | The amount that people eligible for Medicare will pay with HR 676 for prescriptions, long term care, or other necessary health care that now requires financial supplements to private insurers. |
| 30 Days | Time allotted for payment to doctors under the Single Payer National Insurance Program. Under this act, physicians shall submit bills to the regional director on a simple form or via computer. Interest shall be paid to providers whose bills are not payed withing 30 days of submission. |
| $21 Million | Money that would be saved by just one school board for employee health care under HR676. Get the data for your city and your school board working with Healthcare-now.org, info@healthcare-now.org |
| 100% | People in the USA who will receive care under a Single Payer National Health Insurance plan as found in John Conyers’ proposed Bill HR676. |
| $350 Billion | The money that the USA will save in the first year of implementation of a Single Payer Health Insurance System. Savings are projected to increase as preventative care reduces the number of emergency room visits by the uninsured and as people become healthier. |

AMERICA’S NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY!
It’s official. America and the World are now in a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. A World EPIDEMIC with potential catastrophic consequences for ALL of the American people. The first PANDEMIC in 41 years. And WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES will have to face this PANDEMIC with the 37th worst quality of healthcare in the developed World.
STAND READY AMERICA TO SEIZE CONTROL OF YOUR NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.
We spend over twice as much of our GDP on healthcare as any other country in the World. And Individual American spend about ten times as much out of pocket on healthcare as any other people in the World. All because of GREED! And the PRIVATE FOR PROFIT healthcare system in America.
And while all this is going on, some members of congress seem mostly concern about how to protect the corporate PROFITS! of our GREED DRIVEN, PRIVATE FOR PROFIT NATIONAL DISGRACE. A PRIVATE FOR PROFIT DISGRACE that is in fact, totally valueless to the public health. And a detriment to national security, public safety, and the public health.
Progressive democrats and others should stand firm in their demand for a robust public option for all Americans, with all of the minimum requirements progressive democrats demanded. If congress can not pass a robust public option with at least 51 votes and all robust minimum requirements, congress should immediately move to scrap healthcare reform and demand that President Obama declare a state of NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY! Seizing and replacing all PRIVATE FOR PROFIT health insurance plans with the immediate implementation of National Healthcare for all Americans under the provisions of HR676 (A Single-payer National Healthcare Plan For All).
Coverage can begin immediately through our current medicare system. With immediate expansion through recruitment of displaced workers from the canceled private sector insurance industry. Funding can also begin immediately by substitution of payroll deductions for private insurance plans with payroll deductions for the national healthcare plan. This is what the vast majority of the American people want. And this is what all objective experts unanimously agree would be the best, and most cost effective for the American people and our economy.
In Mexico on average people who received medical care for A-H1N1 (Swine Flu) with in 3 days survived. People who did not receive medical care until 7 days or more died. This has been the same results in the US. But 50 million Americans don’t even have any healthcare coverage. And at least 200 million of you with insurance could not get in to see your private insurance plans doctors in 2 or 3 days, even if your life depended on it. WHICH IT DOES!
Contact congress and your representatives NOW! AND SPREAD THE WORD!
God Bless You
