Why don't Rep. Pelosi & Your Rep. Sponsor HR 676 for single payer healthcare?

by ^ Tuesday, Jul. 24, 2007 at 6:42 PM

The obvious question after viewing the outstanding movie exposing the bankrupt US healthcare system, Sicko, is what is Congress doing about this? The answer is there is HR 676, a bill for single payer healthcare. Believe it or not, Rep. Pelosi is not listed as a sponsor, and neither is most of the California delegation. If you cannot find your representative on the following sponsor list, call them and demand they sponsor HR 676 now.
