Thursday, September 18th, 2008, Progressives for Pennsylvania held our second forum on the crisis in health care Pennsylvania. This time the focus was moving from Pennsylvania HB 1660 and SB 300, which both provide health care to all Pennsylvanians in a model of Medicare health care.
This delivery system is public and private financing, delivery, and includes free choice of doctors.
I've certainly nothing against socialized medicine, but only to say that our bill does not fall into this category, which is publicly funded and publicly delivered.
The first panelist to speak was Jim Ferlo, State Senator Pittsburgh PA., Y main sponsor of HB 1660.
Single-payer, he said it is like a prairie fire that once the lights can be extinct, and extends only exponentially.
The movements of social reform is never easy, Ferlo said, citing the law on security (OSHA), Social Security and Medicare.
He said that the national media did not attend our event because they were purchased by insurance companies.
Next up was Kathy Manderino, Pennsylvania State Representative for the past 16 years, a great sponsor of the bill.
She said it breaks her heart more than anything, when a component enters his office after losing his job and insurance illness, fear of hitting the person that the psychological grip.
He said that lack of health coverage (currently over 48 million people across the country and 1,220,000 in AP alone, according to the latest Census Bureau), is an internal threat, like a terrorist attack.
Our job is to educate residents Pennsylvania on our bill, "said Kathy. We must convince our families, friends, neighbors, fellow card games, book club members, the AARP and local clubs, even paying is good for the world, it is good for us, and why.
Manderino said that if we can not single-payer, we must understand that incremental changes lead ultimately to a single-payer system.
Dr. Walter Tsou, the next speaker, and co-author Bill said that with all due respect to Ms. Manderino, Mitt Romney of Massachusetts Health Plan and Oregon, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington and Maine, not discuss the plan of PA Governor Rendell were all transferred to insurers what motivates your states more debt.
We can spend less money, insurance companies still are involved in providing health care, Walter Tsou said.
Over the next 5 years and not employers pay for health care and charge back to 100% for employees under our current system, very sick.
You see, dear reader?
In 5 years, you pay 100% of health spending within the system present. This will more than double the number of uninsured people in this country.
Bill George, president of the AFL-CIO, was next in the video, which gives us the pleasure of his passion on single payer. He said that the system of health maintenance sector of the insurance in place does not. The health insurance companies are the problem with CEO pay your advertising budget, their increasing rejection of claims to pay his greed bottom line: it also contributes to our economy in crisis.
37 cents of each intervention (care) represents the current dollar expenditure on health compared with the cost of Medicare, which is 3 cents for every dollar of health care.
The alternative single-payer would save 32 cents for every dollar of health care.
Dawn Ali, RN, was next, who sits on the Executive Committee of the Nurses Association Pennsylvania and professions (PASNAP). She also co-owner and operator of the nurse first African American-owned dialysis center in Philadelphia for ten years.
She said she sold the business due to lower energy always have to fight for business health insurance to pay for services rendered, constantly seeking to avoid payment.
She also said the shortage of nurses is due in large part over the impossible working conditions for nurses are working at night: mandatory overtime, a large number of patients, not to mention the suffering caused by the refusal of insurance companies to pay health bills.
Donna Smith, star of Michael Moore's Sicko, and community organizations today Nurses in California, said her work with nurses in California is to discover the stories of patients and to monitor and defend these people.
He told the story of a woman aged 30 diagnosed with the disease earlier in life Crohn's. Insurance was first his mother then moved her preexisting condition, it is impossible to obtain insurance and pay his mounting medical bills.
Donna said the girl told her story to an audience, saying: "I wonder what would have been."
The Rev. Sandra L. Straus, director of Public Defense Council of Churches of Pennsylvania, gave a moving talk about Jesus, healing the sick and raise the dead unconditionally.
Right-called fundamentalist Christians can be good stewards of our citizens.
What would Jesus do?
Weston Scott Fisher, junior medicine at Penn State University Medical College, Hershey, PA, sent a plea the audience to attend the second day of lobbying at the State Capitol in Harrisburg, PA for Single Payer and HB 1660.
14% of all medical students are trained in Pennsylvania, but only 7% of the stay. These students lobby legislators telling them that if they spend HB 1660, which is happy to stay and practice medicine in Pennsylvania.
Tom followed Dr. Wes doors. He said that our current system of care delivery health is broken beyond repair.
He said that this is due to the lack of access and the fact that 56 million Americans medically marginalized. They have no medical home. They only use the emergency room for care and often when it is too late.
The cost of care across the health world is 4 billion euros and the cost of healthcare in the U.S. is 2 billion euros. America consumes 50% of the dollar health care, however, we have a rising rate of infant mortality and life expectancy decreases.
Morton Mintz, critical media and the journalist who originally exposed the scandal of Thalidomide and Dalkon Shield 40 and 20 years, said single-payer would avoid Bankruptcy and 100 miles, but the media refuses to cover this incredible story.
Mintz has called it a grave sin of omission, journalists and neglect.
And finally, our Mayor, Rick Gray stood during the question session and said that if we can show him, teaching him the digits, single payer save our city and every town and city and rural municipality in PC dollars, is
And he will tell all the other mayors PA.
What I know is that the U.S. Conference of Mayors June 23 this year adopted a resolution supporting HR 676, the law on national health insurance, invoice unit Auftraggeber National presented by Rep. John Conyers of Michigan.
For progressives of Pennsylvania will a meeting with our mayor very soon.
And the rest, as they say, is history.

If you hate big insurance, why use them?
How to create a non co-op community health nonprofit? 30,000-50,000 people pay into a central fund. When you have a health need, the fund negotiates to pay cash to the doctor or hospital, which ends up cheaper than what normally tells them. It is not safe. Doctors get the money upfront and do not require insurance companies to bill and wait. Some cooperatives have rules like that can not be a smoker. However, there are alternatives to insurance and government welfare. Are you interested enough to look outside the box? Here are one that works: http://www.cnn.com/video/ # / video/us/2009/08/14/sr.bolduan.christian.cnn My avatar wears a raincoat, because I always wear a raincoat during the sex.
