Pass HR 676

by Alison Landes

Advocates fighting for real health care reform need all the support they can muster.   The old fable, Beware of Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing holds an important message for anyone sorting through the contradictions and confusion.

Divided We Fail.org  is a coordinated effort spearheaded by several well funded organizations that are not friends of single-payer.  They use a lot of the right buzz words, but their proposals will not bring the long term health care reform we seek;

 AARP, which receives substantial income from selling United Health Care, would not support single-payer because they earn considerable income from selling health insurance, the Business Roundtable, representing 150 major corporations, has not been a friend of single-payer or public option, the SEIU (Service Employees International Union)  its national office did not support single-payer while many of its chapters do and the NFIB (National Federation of Independent Business) which is not a friend of single-payer or the public option.  You can find out more about its focus by googling; NFIB who are its members.

Why, even when stating in no uncertain terms, that American industries face a disadvantage in competing globally, would the Business Roundtable not support single-payer?  Watch this and you’ll find out.
