Expanding health care

A new study estimates that one person in Kansas dies prematurely every 48 hours due to the lack of health insurance (Dying for Coverage in Kansas, Families USA, April 2008). This travesty must not be allowed to continue.

HR 676 would extend Medicare to all Americans. Rep. Dennis Moore should immediately join the 88 co-sponsors of this vital bill.

Just think, once Oblama or Sillary implement Socialist Heilthcare, you will wait even longer for services. Talk about deaths from government backlog and incompetence. Heathcare works fine, people being punked for too many taxes to support sloth and frivilous government spending is the problem.

Rogue/BuddyT - Do you really think that the average American should not have access to the same kind of health care that is enjoyed by all of our elected representatives? And, if all the other industrialized nations have health care that doesn't work, do you really believe that Americans are too stupid to come up with a national health care system that does work? You don't give the American people much credit for intelligenct.
