The Health Insurance Game
This video is a skit written by supporters of HR 676 the single payer national health insurance bill in Congress (John Conyers – Michigan). All other industrialized countries have universal national health care. Their medical costs are far less than ours are in the United States but their health outcomes are as good or better.
Americans have seen their health insurance premiums increase by 87% from 2000 to 2006 while their earnings only increased by 20% and the average rate of overall inflation was 18% during the same time period (Kaiser Family Foundation).
Why does your health care cost so much?
Data from the Institute for Health and Socio-Economic Policy show that:
1. The top seven U.S. health insurers earned a combined $10 billion dollars – nearly triple their profits of 5 years earlier (Wall Street Journal, August 2006).
2. In 2004 top executives of the 11 largest health insurers made a combined $85 million per year in one year (Weiss Reports).
3. The 20 largest HMOs in the U.S. made $10.8 billion in profits in the fiscal year 2005. 12 top HMO executives pocketed $222.6 million in direct compensation in the fiscal year 2005.
4. Dr. William McGuire, CEO of UnitedHealthcare had $1.6 billion in exercisable options at the end of 2005 (CBN News, Oct. 16, 2006) in addition to his salary.
30%-35% of each dollar of your premium goes to pay for: executive salaries, administration, lobbying, marketing and other non-health care related costs.
It’s time for privately delivered health care with public funding – like our Fire Departments and Police. It’s time for HR 676.

Germany’s Health Care: Quality Care for All
With Congress back in session, debate over reforming the American health care system is once again in full swing. Supporters of universal health care want the U.S. system to be more like those in Europe, with the government taking an active role to guarantee coverage for everyone. Those who oppose drastic changes in the U.S. system say greater government involvement and universal coverage guarantees will push the U.S. toward socialism. Germans have the oldest universal health care system in Europe – its origins go back more than a century – and they are generally pleased with the care they receive. Is there a lesson there for America? VOA’s Sonja Pace reports from the German capital, Berlin.

Rep Wasserman Schultz asks: Where Is The Republican Health Plan?
it has been more than 100 days since Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO), the point man for the rumored Republican alternative health reform plan said I guarantee you we will provide you with a bill.
Even Louisiana Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal urged his party Tuesday to work with Democrats to offer health care solutions.
The time to act on health insurance reform is now. We must act to offer the choice of affordable quality health care to all Americans, putting you and your doctor—not the insurance companies—in charge of your health care while we reduce the burden of ballooning health care costs on American families, businesses and our fiscal future.
No is not a solution.
Saying you support reform with no evidence of that support and no plan, just doesnt cut it.
Continuing to say no to reform leaves tens of millions of Americans without health insurance, and 45,000 Americans die every year because of this.
Our friends on the other side of the aisle cant run away from the fact that they have no plan.
The time to act on health insurance reform is now.
