Guest guest Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009  Finally, we can show the government our support for reforming health care, into a system that will deprive the private health insurance companies of the ability to withhold medical recognition of our illness. If a government health plan recognizes, and pays for, treatment of OUR health conditions, the private health plans will have to do the same, or they will lose all their customers to the government plan. Click on the link, at the end of this posting, which connects to the GOVERNMENT web site, where you can vote to support President Obama's efforts for IMMEDIATE health care reform.  Today was a " double-miracle " day, as the acting U.S. Surgeon General released a report titled " Call To Action To Promote Healthy Homes " , which mentions " MOLD " as a target for improving home health. To read that press release, and the full report, click on THIS link to the Surgeon General's web site: http://surgeongeneral.gov  This is your chance to DO SOMETHING to get government help. After you read the petition of support, below, click on the link, to VOTE for something to be done. .................................................................................\ .................................    State Your Support Dear Mr. President, We strongly support your commitment to comprehensive health reform. This is not a luxury. The continuing, sharp escalation of health care costs for families, businesses, and government is unsustainable. Reform is imperative. We believe that health reform must be enacted this year. Reform is needed to help America’s families struggling with rising costs and those who are losing their insurance. At the same time, real health reform is crucial to keeping American businesses competitive in the world economy and for the country’s long-term economic viability. As our country faces economic challenges, the time for reform is now. We support health reform that follows these principles: Protect families’ financial health Assure affordable, quality health coverage for all Americans Provide portability of coverage Guarantee choice of doctors Invest in prevention and wellness Improve patient safety and quality of care End barriers to coverage for people with pre-existing medical conditions Reduce long-term growth of health costs for businesses and government During these extraordinarily challenging times, we need to put aside past differences and address the health and economic crisis. Our shared interest must come before narrow interests so we can achieve a health system that is affordable and provides high quality for all Americans. We will support your budget with its reserve fund dedicated to achieving health care reform in a fiscally responsible manner. Each of us must be prepared to contribute to achieving this fundamental goal. By signing this statement we affirm our commitment to work with you and our Congressional leaders to enact legislation this year which provides affordable, high quality coverage for all Americans.     http://www.healthreform.gov/support.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
