 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. To see Minnesota Majority's ideas for health care reform, check out this link: http://www.minnesotamajority.org/TheIssues/HealthCare/tabid/121/Default.aspx |

| 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. |
