Single Payer Petition

Submitted by Bill Andrews on Sun, 06/21/2009 - 10:34am.

Some are not giving up on the single payer system. Senator Barnie Sanders is pushing hard.

Remember, the insurance companies are taking a last minute stand to totally remove the Public Option for the healtcare reform bill. We have to wake up our representatives to include all options and help us fight the Mafia like Insurance Industry.

It's time to fight back.
