Question in the paragraph; yes, that is what we want. I have run into static, in this ning. You are right. HR-676 is the answer, single-payer. No, it is not a perfect system; but better than the non-system we have now.
Single-payer HR-676 is anythi…

- John what medicare does is to take the old who have so much demands on this system. It places the whole financial demands on the very group of people who are old and sick. While all those insurace companies make money from the young healthy who make no demands. Now let me ask you if we eliminate the proffitiers of this country and lets put everyone into this mix? If we put all the young and healthy into this mix then it will support the old when medical cost rise exponantialy. But they do not want why? Just because if we do this then all of these corporate bastards will not be able to give themselves a 20 million bonus. Remember as George Carlin said this is a club you will never be invited to join. Remember that.

- Sorry John but youre argument makes no sense. If you are not with a single payer but are with the corporate insurance companies then where does this leave us? Sorry I cant respond because this post makes no sense. Sorry I do not to wish no respect to you but I do not understand youre post. Maggie.

- Do you actuallity know what socialiised medicine is about? It is using my taxes to provide care to all others. It is not spending a 3rd of my money for the politicians in Sacramento, It is about providing education to our people with no debt. It is about using our taxes to provide our people with care, it is not about using oure taxes to kill others we never knew in oure name. It my friend is just sumply doi the right thing. Can we not just use oure taxes one third of my income to help us the people here And in the end I wonder how did you become such an uncaring people? I wonder who did this to you?

- About me
- Folk Musician/singer/songwriter and activist for affordable healthcare. Style something like Bob Dylan or James Taylor. Many of my original songs reflect concern over healthcare crisis. I support hr-676, for a single-payer.
Having Aspergers Syndrome I am also trying to reach the autistic community with my music and increase awareness. I wrote 3 autism awareness songs already.
I sometimes combine these crusades (Healthcare Justice, and Autism Awareness) because while many on the spectrum are severely disabled, there are some (such as Aspergers) who are mildly disabled, too well off for Medicaid, but find it a nightmare to compete for a halfway decent job in this recession narrowed job market. How can you have insurance if you can't have a job, in fact, if you can't have a mighty good job?
While I had the Aspergers Syndrome all my life, I did not always know it. I always knew I was different; but didn't always know what the heck it was. September 2007, I figured I need help from Voc Rehab to find a job. For Voc Rehab you have to have some kind of disability label. My mom told me I had Aspergers Syndrome. I then researched it; a psychologist hired by Voc Rehab also re-diagnosed me with Aspergers.

- I like and produce the folk to light rock. I also have a wide range of tastes in music, including rock, country, jazz, gypsy, traditional. A few years ago I thought I had a gig at a place where it had to be either original or public domain; I had a small original set at that time.

- Upon finding I had Aspergers a singer/songwriter on the spectrum, Donna Williams was a large influence for adding autism awareness to my songwriting.
Realizing I am what I am, I've Gotta Be Me, Sammy Davis Jr came in. >> On Jan 2,2008 I made a brave step at a musician's open mic event, "Tonight" started a chord run on piano in Ab "I will sing a song by the late Sammy Davis Jr, 'I've Gotta Be Me.' All my life I knew I was different, but didn't know what the heck it was. I've coped, and much of my life actually managed it very well. Recent circumstances forced me to come to terms with it. I have Aspergers Syndrome, a type of autism. Yes, I am autistic and not ashamed of it anymore. This is where I got my incredible compassion from to become the Healthcare for ALL Music Guru. But Ultimately" Started intro in C "I've Gotta Be Me, my strengths, weaknesses, and things I wish could be different." Then sang the Sammy Davis Jr classic, I've Gotta Be Me."
