The product of health insurance is to provide you with medical coverage when you need it.
Unlike other businesses that need to provide you with their product in order to make any money, health insurance companies actually make more money for themselves when they restrict and do not pay claims.
In other words, they make more money when they do NOT provide the product that you have paid them for.

Read the 50 to 70 pages of your health insurance contract.
Pay particular attention to the section entitled “limitations and exclusions”.
People’s health is not a product that needs to be left to the whims of money motivated CEO’s and stockholders.
If that is your thinking, you might as well have your police and fire department protection based on insurance premiums you pay.
Then you can go to the police and fire protection insurance page for ‘limitations and exclusions’ on whether or not the police or fire department would come out to your house in the event of an emergency.

The point is, you would never think of discriminating against another citizen if he was the victim of a fire or crime.
So why would you be ok with health insurance companies discriminating against fellow citizens who have pre-existing medical conditions?

AMERICAS NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY!

Its 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 the Tri-Caucus 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 request 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 dont 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!

If President Obama has to declare a NATIONAL STATE OF EMERGENCY to rescue the American people from our healthcare crisis, he will need all the sustained support you can give him. STICK WITH HIM! Hes doing a brilliant job.

THIS IS THE BIG ONE!

THE BATTLE OF GOOD Vs EVIL!

Join the fight.

Contact congress and your representatives NOW! AND SPREAD THE WORD!

God Bless You

Mr. Means is a disciple of Saul D. Alinsky! He states "If operated as efficiently as Social Security, overheard would run about 3 percent ..." The Social Security Administration 700 elite managers used $700,000 of tax payer funds to party down for a weekend. Real efficient use of funds Mr. Means! Read story here: Social Security Administration Elite Deserve$ 700,000 Tax Payer Funded Vacation

Why does the Milpitas Post continue to allow Mr. Means to use the paper to post his ACORN propaganda? Wake up Milpitas – this paper has been bought and paid for by the radicals.

jacksmith post is very interesting - He points to Mexico and the USA Healthcare system having the same reaction time to recovery verse death. This is lie jacksmith - How many Mexicans died verses how many in the USA - 75 to 1 ratio. OBTW jacksmith Mexico has a universal heathcare system just like the one you want to push on the USA. This guy and the Democrats want to kill off the old people by denial of care for illegals and young people who can afford it but do not want healthcare.

Wake Up Milpitas - the above jacksmith post is a form letter created using the 4 billions dollars given to ACORN in the Obama Stimulus Package. They are the new Nazi Party and the Brown Shirts to do the Obama Dirty Work.

We need the Single Payer Healthcare system. Stop rewarding the greedy insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies. Get rid of the Drug Management Companies.
The Government should set drug prices and negotiate just like the Veterans Administration.

Mrs. Feinstein you are a fraud who does not represent the majority of Democrats. You vote Republican with Big Business because it props up your portrfolio..
Anyone can see through you who have received thousands from the Insurance companies and drug companies.
Do the right thing for once. Give all of the citizens Single Payer Healthcare.

Financial muddles are more than likely today so be careful if you're going shopping. You might be accidentally short-changed or there could be a misunderstanding about how much something costs. This isn't a good day to lend friends anything valuable in case they don't return it or they damage it in some way. Better safe than sorry.
