MJN Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 opinion about this? I'm hearing that the Pres. wants this voted on before they leave for their August break. This is being rammed through and is such an important issue that time is needed to make an educated decision. I think our Congress people NEED to hear from US. Please call today!

shinyhappypeople Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 No, but, like me, he supports universal access to health care, so I'm not too concerned. Maybe I should e-mail him anyway, just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizzyBee Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I sent one of my senators a long email. I still need to write one to my representative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 It is a matter of great personal importance to me, so I most certainly have contacted my congresspeople. I have received confirmation from one that this is an important issue to her as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I think our Congress people NEED to hear from US. Please call today! I agree! They need to hear that we support universal access to health care. Mine are aware of my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 No, but, like me, he supports universal access to health care, so I'm not too concerned. Maybe I should e-mail him anyway, just in case. You definitely should! Let him know you're glad to see a president finally tackle this and that he's doing the right thing! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunflowerlady Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Thanks for the reminder.:) My Congressman supports it, but I will contact him anyway and encourage him. I am hopeful that one day I will have access to health care for dh and myself. Dd is covered by FL Kidcare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrid Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Yes, I'll dash off a supportive thank you note today for their support for universal coverage. Our state legislature is considering it today as well. I'm thrilled to see it. astrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoPlaceLikeHome Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I have called all of my representatives, senators, and the white house to let them know that I am strongly in favor of universal, public healthcare:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is being rammed through and is such an important issue that time is needed to make an educated decision. I think our Congress people NEED to hear from US. Please call today! Thank you for the reminder. I'm totally opposed to this plan, and it literally makes me sick to consider the direction our country is taking on this and other issues. I need to do more than just have an opinion, though, I need to contact my reps. Hope others will do the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean too Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Yes, I have written them. I don't think there is anyway it will get pushed through before their Aug. break. The news from the Congressional Budget Office that this plan will not decrease healthcare costs but rather will increase costs is helping to weaken support. That and the outcome of the stimulus bill(continued shedding of jobs inspite of the promise of not going over 8% unemployment) is making the public and our reps a little leary of allowing Obama to ram this one through.

sunflowerlady Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Done! I just emailed.:) I am hopeful, yet cautious. I am afraid that it is too much to hope for, but I would like to be able to have health care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fractalgal Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Thank you for the reminder. I'm totally opposed to this plan, and it literally makes me sick to consider the direction our country is taking on this and other issues. I need to do more than just have an opinion, though, I need to contact my reps. Hope others will do the same! :iagree: This healthcare plan is not sustainable for the long term. It is too expensive! The numbers do not add up. In addition, those in favor of this do not realize that the government will have access to personal health records and ration health care to individuals. I will be calling my senators in STRONG OPPOSITION poorly thought out bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My3Boys Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Our reps are against, thankfully, but I am contacting them anyway to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmmom4him Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I sure have let them know that we are not supporting the bill as presently written. They are in agreement with us. I have also encouraged many friends to contact them, including phone numbers, emails to make it easier and less time consuming and a summary of reasons not to support this bill. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beebalm Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Yes, I have voiced my opposition for this bill. Thanks for reminding us all to stand up and be counted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
