********************************************************
National Health Care – The Time Has Come
Interview & Speech With Rep. John Conyers, Jr.
Speaking before a packed audience at an recent forum
sponsored by the NY Metro Chapter of the Physicians for a
National Health Program, Rep. Conyers emphasized that
with the Democratic control of Congress, now is the time
to redouble our efforts for the passage of HR 676 legislating
universal health insurance – Medicare for All.
Not a week goes by that we don’t hear about cutbacks caused
by the rising cost of health insurance or the growing number of
the uninsured. And not a week goes by that we do not hear
about a new union endorsing the Conyers single payer health
insurance bill which would save at least 0 billion annually
by eliminating the profits & high overhead of the insurance
industry. In his speech & in an interview with Building Bridges,
Conyers also talked about the War on Iraq, civil liberties,
impeachment of the President, immigration and lessons to
be learned from the legacy of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr..
