Ron Wyden OR is talking of his Univ. Health care plan Cspan 1

1. Catch this one on repeat later or look at it when it makes the archives

at CSPAN. It's worth watching and provides some solid information about a plan for health care reform.

2. I don't see him. There's a call-in show on.

Did I miss it?

3. It sounds like a good plan

from what I read this morning.

I think the road to eventual single-payer universal health care will first come through a plan that expands private health insurance with the government ensuring everybody has access to basic services. I think Switzerland has something like that in place now.

Eventually, that will be expanded to have medicare for children under 18 (or 22 for those enrolled in college)...

and, hopefully, it will continue to expand.

4. NO -- Tell Wyden he needs to support Medicare for All

There is already a bill -- Medicare for All -- that the Democrats need to get behind.

Wyden's bill just keeps the insurance companies with their hands on our money.

Expand Medicare.

Tell Wyden NO.

This needs to stop right now.

5. This is the bill the Dems should be supporting -- HR 676

It's called Medicare for All.

I don't want Wyden's plan.
