I’m old enough to have witnessed the transition from a doctor and patient relationship, to insurance run HMO for profit and patient denied services relationship and frankly, the transition has been horrific for the patients. I believe that access to quality health care is a national priority and should be handled by the government to include all citizens and not private for profit insurance companies who make their money by cherry picking the best customers and denying services to those customer who get sick. In my view health care is a right for every citizen.
I encourage you to engage and find a way to to support the single payer health care reform option.

“I am not open to a public option, however I will remain open to a compromise – a full compromise,” Landrieu told reporters Tuesday. “A public option is not something I support i don’t think its the right way to go.”
