National Health Care Is Coming to America
Universal Health Care Is Coming To Your State
Everyone In Your City & Town Is Going To Be United & Pooled Together To Achieve the Greatest Cost Savings In Rates For All
Not One Person Will Be Left Out To Die
The Revolution Begun in 1775 Is Spreading to Health Care in January 2009, Wall Street Be Dammed
Health Insurance Premium Rates Are Supposed to Be Set By Your State Department of Insurance. Like with Wall Street There Really Is Little Regulation Going On. Demand Your State Legislature Vote to Cap Rate Increases
We Will End Crimes Against Humanity
by Health Insurance Company
Management and
Stockholders in the United States
If You, Your School, Local Government or Company Own Stock in For Profit Health Insurance Companies You Are Participating in Crimes Against Humanity in the United States. We Call on Citizens Around the World to Divest Themselves of U.S. Health Insurance Companies
What Is Our Situation As Stakeholders?
Massive Cost
Shifting To Those Least Able To Pay Continues
Small Number of Health Insurance Carriers Now Have a Monopoly
Double Digit Rate Increases Continue for the Seventh Straight
Year
Uneven Quality of Care with Frequent Medical Errors by Providers
Political Leaders with Short Term Goals and Divided Loyalties
Individual Mandates versus Employer Mandates
Health Insurers Turning Away the Sick to Go Without Treatment
Disabled Children Left to Suffer Without Treatment
Widows Left Without Health Insurance, Losing Their Life Savings
"Will You Still Love Me When I'm 64"
The answer to that lament from the Beatles is very likely no. When your 64 and alone without a large employer group health plan, yet too young to be eligible for Medicare, you will face the highest monthly premium rates of anyone in the country. That may be a monthly premium cost of up to $1,000 a month to provide health insurance to one person. Instead of unifying the people of the United States we have allowed the health insurance companies to convince our lawmakers that the best way to provide health insurance is to divide everybody up into smaller and smaller subgroups until we reach the single 64 year old person.
When you turn 65 the world turns brighter because you are eligible for our socialized national health care plan we call Medicare. All we want is for everyone to be treated the same and no matter what age you are, you receive the group protection of Medicare for All. As with our socialized system of senior care there is even a role for the private sector claims payers and the private sector health care providers.
At the same time we address the problems of access to health care we must also address the problems of cost and quality. Medicare is a great system, but it is being exploited by the private marketplace and costs are too high for the care that is being provided,particularly if we are moving to a system that covers everyone in the nation.
Who Are We Up Against, Who Is Stopping Our Health Care Reform Campaigns and Who Is Corrupting Our Political Leaders?
The Five Top For Profit Health Insurance Companies Who Control the Majority of the Health Insurance Business
United Health Care Inc.
Aetna Inc.
CIGNA Inc.
Wellpoint / Anthem Blue Cross Inc.
CareFirst Blue Cross and Blue Shield
The Two Worse For Profit Insurance Companies Whose Polices Benefits Are Exaggerated By Insurance Agents
Mega Life and Health Insurance Company
Mid West National
What Do We Do About It?
So far in the Campaign for President the key stepping stones to discussing how to transform our health care system are not being discussed. No matter which candidate you support, write to them and ask them if they are prepared to stand up for the national interest and support legislation that would make available access to health insurance for individuals not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid, with no medical underwriting or waiting periods, and no individual mandates. This is step one without which without a consensus of agreement between both political parties there can be no serious move to lower cost with more comprehensive reform.
Join your local universal health care coalition and support their activities
Join in regional marches and demonstrations against the health insurance industry
Support people in your community who need to know the health care options that are available now
Ask your local clergy to come with you to universal health care meetings
Write letters to the editor of your local newspaper, or write an article in your community organization's web site or blog
Contact your local industry association for the industry you work in and ask them to vote internally to support universal health care
Are We Asking the Right Questions ?
Why Is It that Only the Nurses Are Visible Fighting for Universal Health Care? Where are the Doctors, Other Care Givers and the Small Business People? Are They Ready to Take a Few Hours Off Every Once in a While to Come out for Justice?
Is It Enough to Just Offer Testimony or Should We Be Placing Our Bodies On the Line and Be Willing to Organize Mass Arrests Like Martin Luther King? Do You Want to Know What It Feels Like to Write About the Struggle With Your Mind Totally Focused on the Issue as you Look Through the Bars of Your Cell for a Night or Two, Like Henry David Thoreau?
Who Will Inspire Us to Change Our Health Care System? Will a New President Draw Strength From Us?
Do We Believe it Is Ethical for Non-Profit Leaders, Business Leaders and Labor Leaders to be Paid as Much as $75,000 a Year to Serve on Boards of Insurance Companies and for Their Children & Spouses to Accept Jobs at these Same Insurance Companies?
Should We Be Capping the Income of Health Insurance, Health Care Management and Doctors?
Should We Be Doubling the Size of Our Medical Schools?
Housing Equity of Homeowners Is Down to 48%, Gas Is Up to $4.00 a Gallon, Food is up and Health Care Premiums and Out of Pocket Expenses go up as Much as 30% Each Year, Should the Government Be Paying For a Basic Health Plan for All Citizens Paid for by Removing the Cap on Payroll Taxes?
We Need a Direct Response to the Heart of the Problem at the State Level and a Response to Directly Take on the for Profit Insurance Companies and the Drug Companies
Our Lives Are Worth More Than Their Profits
Read the business sections of your news source and see what the level of capitalization exists with all the health insurance conglomerates, health care global corporations, medical supply companies, drug companies and medical device makers and you will see where all the profits have gone and created.
A big part of being a health care activist is taking the step to stand up for yourself, your family, your community and no longer be willing to be invisible. Every day in the U.S. there are many victories won in medicine and many patients lives saved and extended. There are also many failures that happen every day that relate back to our unaccountable health care system.
A National Health Care System Is An Expression of Our Commitment to Each Other and Our Willingness to Sacrifice For Each Other.
Our Patient's Lives Are Worth More Than Their Surpluses
From the moment of birth until death the lives of the citizens of the USA are the most important resource of the country. The lives of every child needs to be protected against the ravages of disease, hunger, abuse, neglect and substance abuse. Exercise, fitness and wellness standards must be established, measured and achieved at every level of school beginning in grade one and continue on to higher education and to the workplace for a citizen's entire working life.
Our Communities Are Worth More to the United States Than Their Leaders Vast Personal Wealth
The National Health Policy
Education and Research Group (NHPERG) is a research, policy and advocacy organization
that is reaching out to health care activists across the country, encouraging them to become united in their reform campaigns, not stratified into vanguards by occupation.We also encourage health care activists to learn more about the health insurance industry and not to be afraid to directly confront the for profit industry powerhouses and stop attacking HMO's as the main source of the problem. Pragmatic compromises will continue to be necessary in the state campaigns to gain greater access for those denied coverage by the insurance companies. But we also need an aggressive and unified approach to educate the American people about how poorly served they are by the insurance companies, how poorly prepared we are to face future problems and how state based campaigns to start up state funded new non-profit organizations is the way to change a state regulated industry..
NHPERG is working to increase consumer, business, policy makers and media
awareness of how economically unsustainable and distorted our current health care system is and the need for immediate action to enable a cooperative group health system to be established in competition with the private insurers and large provider organizations that no longer represent the public interest.
After 30 years of managed competition in health care we have to recognize that a market based solution to maintaining an affordable health care system has failed. The big four health insurance companies are moving rapidly to set the terms of trade for all the health insurance plans in the country. While these companies are in the best position to control costs because of their contracts with providers, they do not pass along a large share of these savings, and instead set prices that are almost the same from insurance carrier to insurance carrier. This increases their profit margins and the stock price of publicly traded companies.
The for profit health insurance company leaders in particular have blocked doing away with individual medical underwriting and "employer mandates" as health care reform mechanisms. So, we are in a stalemate with creditable long term solutions coming from the states and not the federal government.
