Demand Real Health Care Reform

In his state of the union address, President Barack Obama tried to assure us that he had the right plan for America's future.  He asked members of Congress to support his political agenda, including a government takeover of health care reform.

The American people spoke last summer when thousands attended town hall meetings across our nation.  They spoke out again in the fall when nearly a million people marched on Washington.  Most recently, the voters of Massachusetts spoke by electing a Republican to the US Senate for the first time in 60 years.  But President Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi STILL don't seem to be getting the message (see here).

Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann, together with other members of Congress, has unveiled the Declaration of Health Care Independence.  The Declaration is a commitment to protect the rights of the American people to make their own health decisions, reduce bureaucratic red-tape, decrease intergenerational debt, and includes 10 common-sense principles that must be included in any future health care reforms.

Bachmann is calling on all concerned Americans to sign the Declaration and encourage their elected officials in Congress to do the same.  Hopefully, Congressional leaders will finally get the message that it's time to start over and develop a set of common-sense health care reforms that have the support of the American people.

I would be MORE than happy to sign the Declaration of Health Care Independence, but NOT without tort reform as one of its ten points. Please add this extremely important issue to your document and contact me again.

We aren't the authors of the declaration. Some members of Congress got together to craft that. We just support the concept. We also desire tort reform.

I signed it but I agree with the other people that it should include tort reform.

As the president insisted on health care needed reform, his focus is on the private sector?, and the burdens of destruction he insists on adding. His focus of "health care reform" should be reform and removal of all government corruption in already government hands. Should be to get people doing for themselves, easier access to insurance in the private sector. There is more fraud in government run everything then in anything the private sector runs, including health care insurance.

"Green Hell explains why Americans can't afford to fall for Al Gore's `the debate is over' line on global warming. While we're all for the environment, Green Hell explains why we need to oppose the environmentalists."
--Fred Barnes, Executive Editor, the Weekly Standard

"Green Hell is the `inconvenient truth' on extremist, growth-killing environmentalism. A must-read for those interested in keeping America free and prosperous."
--Steve Forbes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Forbes

"Regardless of whether you believe global warming is a fraud, the fact is that the current depression, the past spike in oil prices, and the coming technology of electric cars are all going to solve whatever problem exists. Liberals want to use climate change as an excuse to take over the economy and regulate everything and this book exposes their plans."
--Dick Morris, FOX News commentator and former political consultant to Bill Clinton

"This book describes why the world can't afford to fall for global warming alarmism and environmental hysteria. Steve Milloy shows how to avoid the environmentalists' vision of our future."
--VACLAV KLAUS, President of the European Union and President of the Czech Republic

"Free market capitalism is still the best path to prosperity. Green Hell is a must-read for anyone who wants to keep America on that path and away from Soviet-style command-and-control environmentalism."
--Larry Kudlow, Host, CNBC's The Kudlow Report
