Support Good Health Legislation Now!

The United States is spending too much on health services, twice as much as some other countries.

The people of the United States have worse health outcomes on average than people in many other developed countries.

Tens of millions of Americans have no health insurance; tens of millions more have medical conditions termed "preexisting" that are not covered by their health insurance.

"The ideal is the enemy of the good." We need a legislative compromise, and by definition in a compromise some people get less than they want. Benjamin Franklin was wise enough to know that he might be wrong, and that a compromise (on the Constitution) might not only be the best available result, but might be better than that which he proposed. So lets get the Congress to pass a good health bill!

What happens if we wait a few months more?

How many of the tens of millions of uninsured will suffer illness, disability or even death from delaying their seeking of medical attention they can not afford? How many billions of dollars will be wasted by delaying reforms?

Those who propose delay of the legislation to further tweek the language should count the cost in both dollars and human suffering of the delay they propose.
