		<description>&lt;p&gt;It’s good to see coverage about the national Health Care for All movement … to get &lt;b&gt;Health Care for All with non-profit single-payer national health insurance&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ninenineohnine.org/pages/Monitor_Popular_Support&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Popular Support&lt;/a&gt; section of the Single-Payer Support Monitor documents that we &lt;b&gt;want single-payer&lt;/b&gt;. Select the chart and take a look. The lists of organizations, endorsers, and supporters, represent tens of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ninenineohnine.org/pages/Total_Members&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;millions&lt;/a&gt; of Americans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Looking at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ninenineohnine.org/pages/Costs_and_Savings&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;costs and savings&lt;/a&gt;, single-payer &lt;b&gt;makes economic sense&lt;/b&gt; … saving up to $9,400 per yr instead of the Obama proposal of up to $2,500 per yr.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the meantime, prior to single-payer being implemented, tens of thousands of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ninenineohnine.org/pages/Real_People&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Real People&lt;/a&gt; are dying unnecessarily per year with the current system: at least &lt;b&gt;75,000 unnecessary deaths per year&lt;/b&gt;, but one could say 101,000 per year if you read the details at the Real People web page.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Single-payer has many &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ninenineohnine.org/pages/Benefits&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;benefits&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We will finally get &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ninenineohnine.org/pages/Peace_of_Mind&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;peace of mind&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; regarding health care … what millions of people in other countries already have …  instead of our current fears and worries, bankruptcies, loss of homes, calls from creditors, divorces&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We need millions to get the necessary &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ninenineohnine.org/pages/Single-Payer_Education&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;education&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And we need to have the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ninenineohnine.org/pages/Schedule&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Schedule&lt;/a&gt; followed by hundreds of thousands of people taking action.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Otherwise, we’ll fail again, just like the U.S. in 1993/1994, Oregon in Nov. 2002, in California in Nov. 2004, and so on, and so on … crushing, once again, the hopes of thousands of activists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ninenineohnine.org/pages/Monitor_Political_Support&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Political Support&lt;/a&gt; section of the Single-Payer Support Monitor — its Voters Guide, its Chart, its Graphs of Progress, and its Supporters by State summary page — all indicate that much more needs to happen with some very specific focus. What’s that focus? I read the necessary words from Dr. Geyman.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last night I was reading Dr. John Geyman’s latest book (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.commoncouragepress.com/index.cfm?action=book&amp;bookid=396&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Do Not Resuscitate&lt;/a&gt;). He states there that he thinks that this is an educational and political issue. YES, Dr. Geyman! I very much agree! &lt;b&gt;We must focus on having Americans GET KNOWLEDGE through &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ninenineohnine.org/pages/Single-Payer_Education&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;education&lt;/a&gt; and TAKE ACTION via a regular &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ninenineohnine.org/pages/Schedule&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;schedule&lt;/a&gt; of contacting their U.S. Representatives (and other obvious people, as desired … Senators and U.S. Presidential candidates)&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then and only then will we get it … via education of constituents and those constituents sending thousands of a variety of communications to their U.S. Representatives (Congresspersons).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bob the Health and Health Care Advocate&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;P.S.  Remember what Dr. Bob LeBow emphasized in his book (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Health-Care-Meltdown-Confronting-Failing/dp/0911469303/ref=sr_1_1/104-5773470-3480729?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1184950354&amp;sr=8-1&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Health Care Meltdown&lt;/a&gt;) which some of us consider to be the bible of the Health Care for All movement: the &lt;b&gt;ultimate objective is Good Health for All&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
