The following alert was issued to PDA members last night:
We are all frustrated by the Affordable Health Care for America Act—H.R. 3962--the House’s lamentable healthcare reform bill, if you can call it reform at all. We think of it as tweaking a badly broken system--at best it’s a band-aid on a hemorrhaging system--although, it does appear to be drawing fewer flies than the Senate version.
There’s still time to make it better—much better—but not a lot of time. The bill will be finalized by 5:00 PM Monday evening.
We need to call the bill’s managers on Monday, November 2, and insist that the Kucinich Amendment be reinserted in the bill. Pelosi reneged on her deal with Weiner—she can make up for it by reinserting the Kucinich amendment.
The gang that holds our future in their hands includes:
It’s crucial for everyone in PDA to make these calls, and to tell others to make these calls. TODAY! Be polite, but let them know you’re angry, and that you vote.
So many of us have poured our heart and souls into Medicare for All; our disappointment could lead us to give up. Any right worth having is worth fighting for, so the fight goes on. We’ll do our best to make this bad bill better in the House and in the Senate. Then we’ll take this fight to the states.
Susan B. Anthony, William Lloyd Garrison, Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King didn't give up—neither will we. Please, make those calls.
