HEALTHCARE
REFORM NOW!
Do
you know about the PA plan for universal single-payer health
care? Are you ready for real reform in
PA?
The Family and Business Health
Care Security Act (SB400/HB1660) is a statewide single-payer,
universal health care plan for PA that covers
everyone. It is not European style "socialized medicine." The
health care delivery system of doctors, hospitals, etc. would
not be changed, taken over or rationed. It is not Gov.
Rendell's much weaker "Prescription for Pennsylvania" plan. It
is a single-payer health care financing system, meaning that
health insurance coverage will be provided to all
Pennsylvanians out of a single tax-supported public fund, the
way Medicare is for older citizens on the national
level.

U.S.House Bill 676 -
Introduced by Rep. Conyers of
Michigan
In 2003, Rep Conyers introduced HR 676, The United
States National Health Insurance Act, co-sponsored by Dennis
Kucinich, (D- OH), Jim McDermott, (D-WA, and Donna Christensen
(D-VI). The bill currently has 37 co-sponsors. Under HR 676,
Medicare is extended and improved so that all individuals
residing in the United States would receive high quality and
affordable health care services. They would get a national
health insurance card, and receive all medically necessary
services by the physicians of their choice, with no
restrictions on what providers they could visits. This
includes primary care, dental, mental health, prescription
drugs, and long term care. Contact John
Conyers for
brief summary of the legislation.
