I am here to break the news to you that the "rich" are now feeling the pains of our healthcare crisis!
The U.S. Census Bureau has just released new data that the total number of uninsured Americans has increased from 44.8 million in 2005, to 47 million in 2006. Not only is this increase unacceptable and a disgrace for the greatest country in the world, but now the "richest" of Americans are really feeling the pinch. The greatest increase in uninsured Americans came in the income bracket of "$75,000 or more," with the addition of nearly 1.4 million uninsured in this bracket alone. (Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in The United States: 2006)
No one is safe in this healthcare crisis, but there is an answer. HR 676 provides a national health care system that is PRIVATELY delivered (different from "socialized" healthcare, but is single-payer). With HR 676, healthcare in America will run business-as-usual, and the average American will pay only a fraction of the costs they are currently paying due to the fact that we will have system that is created to serve THE PEOPLE and not PROFIT.

That is terrible!
It is truly a shame when one of the wealthiest countries in world history cannot even manage to get adequate health care to its citizens. The public outrage over this issue will certainly be and should be a huge issue in the '07 and '08 elections. I can't wait until one morning I can wake up and know that all of those millions in need will have more support in our government after election day success.
