Bulgarian input

Bulgarian's Input
1-13-13

 
 
I am finishing my 3rd day of 4 days in Chicago, during which I accomplished much . 

I spoke with a bus driver who is originally from Bulgaria.

He made several comments about how costly the United States health care system is to a patient compared to the cost in Bulgaria, where the cost is zero.

This morning over breakfast I met with a 30-year old young man from Taiwan who taught me something about Taiwanese health care. He said that everyone must pay a separate payment for their health insurance. It sounds like they have something that is not automatically taken out of taxes, such as our planned increase of our Medicare payroll tax by a few percent that would be the impact on most Americans in the United States. (The exact percentage is to be determined when Congress establishes universal health care.)

For information about the 12-12-12 launch of the Million Letters for Health Care Campaign, go here.


This effort continues to be very exciting as it will be for all of us who want universal health care! My continued thanks to everyone!
