Stop NBC from swiftboating universal health care.
Dear Friend,
Americans' lives depend on whether we pass the right kind of health care reform. So why is NBC News airing an infomercial that will spread dangerous misinformation?
Rick Scott is the Chairman of a group called Conservatives for Patients' Rights, and he has a history of disseminating lies and misinformation. According to the AP, Scott is "the former head of Columbia/HCA health care company who was ousted amid a fraud investigation that ultimately resulted in the firm pleading guilty to charges of overbilling." His "documentary" looks to be an extended version of videos he's been promoting over the last few weeks, which FactCheck.org characterized as "misleading" in part because they misrepresented the opinions of a doctor who actually favors the public option.
I just sent an e-mail to NBC News President Steve Capus asking him not to air Rick Scott's shameful propaganda. I hope you will too.
Please have a look and take action.

Protesters for Single Payer thrown out of Senate Committee and Jailed. SEND EFAX NOW!
I received an email this morning on this issue. A single payer health care system would allow everyone in the states health care. This is a BIG issue and much different than what our current health insurance systems have established.
I took immediate action and sent an e-Fax. It is free and easy.
Please take a moment to send an e-Fax if you agree.
Together our voices will be heard. You are important to this issue. You are affected. You mother, father, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends are affected by this.
I am posting this as I received it today:
Protesters for single payer is thrown out of the Senate Committee.
(Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKP05AyfRsI )
Senator Max Baucus says the meeting was to discuss the best options for health care reform, but still refuses to allow a single payer advocate be present.
If you haven't sent your fax to the Senate Committee SEND IT NOW
Here is the link: http://www.1payer.net/campaigns/finance-committee.html
Mad Max Baucus showed us what he means when he says ‘single payer is off the table.’ When single payer advocates politely asked for a seat at the table, where 15 insurance flunkies were waiting to testify to his Senate committee, Sen. Baucus sneered at them and told them they would get more police. That gave all of Baucus' fellow insurance flunkies (and all the other clowns in the hearing room) a big laugh. Then Baucus hypocritically told the audience how much he respected single payer, as the police were arresting eight people who just wanted to present a point of view.
I am angry about this arrogant abuse of power.
If you are angry, now is your chance to tell Baucus. Call 800-578-4171, choose option 1, and connect to his office. if no one answers, it probably is because Baucus is too chicken to even listen to the angry messages.
Alternatively, call each one of his offices in Montana. Here are the phone numbers: Billings(406) 657-6790; Bozeman (406) 586-6104; Butte (406) 782-8700; Great Falls (406) 761-1574, (406) 452-1117 (TDD); Helena (406) 449-5480; Kalispell (406) 756-1150;Missoula (406) 329-3123; Washington D.C. (202) 224-2651(Office),(202) 224-9412 (Fax)

Insurance companies do NOT belong in health care. Please sign petition if you agree.
Insurance companies do NOT belong in health care.
Check out the following petition and sign if you agree.
This is the first paragraph:
We want transparency in the creation of health policy.We oppose the secrecy that has recently been reported. We oppose forcing Americans to buy health insurance. This will not solve America's healthcare crisis. Forcing people to buy health insurance forces people to buy a defective product. Insurance companies don't carry a stethoscope or bandage a wound. Insurance companies make money when they DENY health care. Insurance companies don't belong in health care.
