Fight back against insurance industry lies about health care

If you’re not sure where you stand on the health care plans being debated in Congress, then watch this and ask yourself this: “what percentage of my insurance premiums do I want going to CEO bonuses and stock options?”

Then you might ask: “what percentage of my prescription medicine dollars should go to Big Pharma so they can advertise drugs to me?” Shouldn’t that be a decision made between you and your doctor?

Or ask this of yourself: “what percentage of the health care dollars that would otherwise go to me, am I willing to let go to Washington D. C. lobbyists for the health care and pharma industries?” Last time I checked, you voted for a Senator and Representative to make those decisions, not paid lobbying firms.

Everytime you see an ad on television or in print that decrys how awful government regulated health care would be, remember that those are your insurance premium dollars being deflected away from you and your family.

This is about government stepping in and regulating the obscene profits being made by the insurance companies and big pharma. Government doesn’t want to be the health care provider. That isn’t what this legislation is about.

Decide how much you’d like to share with the corporate suits or, instead, your fellow citizens.

Let Washington know. They’ll be back in a month. Overwhelm them with messages by mail, by email and by phone.

You want universal health care for all. Now.
