There's a new web page available today that provides one video and four audios. They document the very strong and very clear request by citizens (including audience clapping multiple times) during the Presidential campaign at Barack Obama's own health care meeting that he initiated and conducted. The requests during the meeting were for non-profit single-payer national health insurance, which is simply called "single-payer," for which he very strongly supported in 2003.
President Obama's recommendation for action when he was campaigning for the U.S. Presidency at that time is very clear: send a couple of thousand letters to every U.S. Representative, which he referenced as every U.S. Congressional District.
Go to "Obama Recomments Letters".

Five Months Left
An original emphasis of this website was the date 9/9/2009, which happens to be significant now due to what is occurring in Washington DC. Now it's 4/9/2009, so there are 5 months left ...
Members of the U.S. House, U.S. Senate and the White House Office of Health Reform are focusing on getting national legislation prepared for a new health care law by this summer or this fall. This is a very scary time for Americans who know the facts.
A good place for any American to start is to participate in the Million Letters for Health Care Campaign by going to www.medicareforall.org.
In the meantime people in other countries will continue to be amazed. They ask Americans why we continue to deny ourselves the advantages of non-profit national health insurance:
● All necessary care.
● Everyone included, pre-natal to the end-of-life.
● Dramatically less bureaucracy = lower cost.
● No more rationing based on ability to pay.
● Freedom to choose doctors, medical facilities, professions, jobs, and employers.
● Physician impact: lower costs to run private practices; more time for patients.
● Lower business costs = recovery & creation of jobs.
● A healthier workforce. Our life expectancy is 30th in the world; we rank 19th of 19 countries in minimizing deaths due to preventable diseases! When people can get to a doctor, we'll do better!
