The People's Email Network Last 25 Messages Transmitted Log Go Back The CBO Needs To Score H.R.676 Now ********** [171637:121519] C.W., Fort Lauderdale, FL All the young people love it HR676. How can we discuss this without a hint of its cost. What about national clinics for the poorest like VA system? Take the poor out of emergency rooms. ********** [104712:120817] J.B., Fort Lauderdale, FL H.R.676, Medicare For All should be evaluated. The well being of the United States population should be a priority. ********** [185831:071717] C.W., Emeryville, CA Without this analysis too many Americans will be left doubting whatever is decided. By consolidation we may actually be shrinking government by going with Expanded and Improved Medicare for all. ********** [125817:060817] T.E., Brush Prairie, WA We all know that our medical costs are out of control due to influence by insurance and pharmaceutical companies, and that the only acceptable solution is to take them out of the equation with single payer medicare for all. ********** [223908:041117] S.H., Florence, OR Now is the time! ********** [163749:041017] W.D., Birmingham, AL Disgraceful, that as the richest country in the history of the world, we are the ONLY INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD (PLUS SOME OTHERS, LIKE CUBA) THAT DOES NOT SEE HEALTH CARE AS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT. FOR SHAME, REPUBLICANS, A NEW LOW FOR YOUR PARTY..... ********** [044912:033017] B.J., Brook Park, OH Do it! No more mucking about! ********** [083926:032917] L.C., Harrisburg, PA Yes indeed please do score H.R. 676. Over 50% of the American population want Medicare for All. We believe it will be good for more than our health. It will be good for our economy as well. Thank you! ********** [101250:032617] T.H., Hamden, CT So, what are the realities of Medicare for all? It would be REALLY good to know those numbers and confront them. I wouldn't trust any politicians BS on what they think something will cost but the CBO is set up to generate credible numbers. Let's hear the numbers for this! ********** [043017:032417] S.H., Cheshire, OR Thank you for your consideration of this option, which I think is the only rational solution to resolve the healthcare crisis for all our citizens. ********** [154621:032317] D.S., Mattapoisett, MA I'm absolutely sure that Universal Healthcare would wind up being the MOST COST EFFECTIVE option in the long run! I think that the 630,000 Americans who go bankrupt in this country every year due to medical issues in this country would agree with me wholeheartedly! Ask citizens from England, France, or Canada how many people go bankrupt in their countries due to medical issues. ********** [102912:032317] R.S., New Bern, NC The time has come for the only logical solution: Medicare for All. It has been time tested, the bugs have been worked out, it is highly popular among those who use it and it needs to be extended to all. It has a 3% overhead instead of a 30% that ACA had. We need to compare the cost with the current proposals. ********** [001056:032317] A.L., Springvale, ME Let's do it now!! ********** [182825:032217] B.L., Huntingdon, PA Medicare for All is the best way - lower overhead, uniform coverage. Best of all, we finally would be in step with every other developed nation on the planet. ********** [162916:032217] A.B., Woodstock, IL Here is your chance to do something for Main Street USA after the last 30 years working for Wall Street. ********** [161953:032217] D.S., South Salem, NY I find it shameful that the United States is the only industrialized nation to not have universal health care. Everyone I know that is on Medicare is very happy with it. The rest of the population should not be penalized but should be able to enjoy the same rights. ********** [154457:032217] T.E., Bangor, ME If you truly care about your constituents, all of us Mainers, having access to good healthcare, it is urgent for the CBO to score now H.R. 676 to be considered in the healthcare debate. Way too many Americans, including we Mainers, are dying from lack of healthcare because of not having insurance, being underinsured, etc. Thank you. Tania E. Bangor, Maine ********** [143218:032217] J.R., Brooktondale, NY Single payer, like all the rest of the civilized world, is the only plan to get the "insurance" business out of healthcare. ********** [135348:032217] D.S., Fargo, ND We need to know what we could have had. ********** [134956:032217] R.W., Santa Fe, NM I am a 87 year old veteran who survived a stroke with the help of Medicare. Don't you dare let them screw around with funding for that or Medicare. Neither then state of New Mexico nor I can afford it! ********** [132125:032217] A.H., Traverse City, MI Medicare for all would work! Everyone gets covered somewhat, and the insurance companies get a piece by offering "gap" policies. This should gain top consideration! ********** [122732:032217] L.W., Tallahassee, FL Please analyze and score a Medicare For All scenario. See if it's cheaper for government, cheaper for citizens than anything proposed by Legislature to date. Thank you. ********** [122210:032217] C.F., Black Canyon City, AZ Please take the time to do some research on this important subject...before you sign anything. Thank you. ********** [111124:032217] M.L., Ishpeming, MI Medicare and the SSA are in place and work well. No need to spend money to set up a new system. Cost-effective ways of extending medicare to add include fixed networks of care w/higher premiums for those w/o fixed networks. We will save money as a nation when we have no lost manpower hours because people can't afford good quality health care. ********** [094726:032217] A.J., New York, NY H.R. 676, Medicare For All, should be scored right now. It could prove to be the absolute best, least expensive and simplest way to provide appropriate healthcare to all Americans. With the debate for a proper healthcare system in a muddle, this is the very time to score it and put it into the hands of our legislators. It is the system the American people want. It is even the healthcare system Trump campaigned on, the healthcare system that would be "single payer"..."in a much simplified form. Much less expensive and much better." Congressional Budget Office, please score H.R. 676 right now. Legislators, please add H.R. 676 to the debate and work to make it the deserved reality for all Americans. ********** Go Back
