Afraid of Socialized Medicine?
This was written by Al Mumm, the Vice President of the Nebraska Alliance for Retired Americans and the ex-President of Installation Local 7290. Spread it around:
Afraid of "Socialized Medicine"?
For any of you out there who are afraid of "socialized" medicine, remember this: If you are against "socialism" of any kind you must then be against the public school system (by itself, probably the single most important thing that enabled the United States to become a great country), Medicare, Medicaid, the Veterans Administration Health Care system, Social Security, and in Nebraska, the Public Power electrical system (which gives us one of the lowest electrical rates in the country).
Also, for anyone who hasn't figured it out yet, the Republicans do not support ANY health care reform. Or anything that will even slightly cut into the profits of insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, or any of the other leeches now dictating health care in America!! Call and write your congressional reps and Senators and demand meaningful health care reform, which includes a public option! Don't let Fox News, Rush Lamebrain, Sean Hatedy, or any of the other servants of the health insurance industry kill the best chance for health care reform we have ever had!
