ALERT for Single Payer***</span><br>
</span></h3>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><b>Write Your
Representative Today!</b></h1>
<p>It's time to take action for SINGLE-PAYER NATIONAL
HEALTH CARE!<br>
<br>
The media are focusing on the debate between Democrats promoting
Obamacare<br>
and 'Tea Party' activists who are determined to block any health care
reform at all. Whether Obamacare gets passed in Congress or
Republicans succeed in defeating reform legislation, the for-profit
health insurance companies will win and the rest of us will lose.<br>
<br>
These are the worst economic times since the Great Depression and we
need healthcare that is cost-effective for ALL. Single-Payer will
reduce health care costs by as much as a third and reduce 'rationing'
-- no more for-profit insurance company overhead, administrative costs,
and skyrocketing CEO salaries. Single-Payer will allow everyone to
choose their physicians and hospitals, and no American will ever again
face financial ruin over an illness or injury.<br>
<br>
Take Action now! Write your representative <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=4aE8AaP6S64KTk6%2BehHsdFuIQMFhLGxl">here!</a><br>
<br>
Tell your legislators that Single Payer makes economic sense and
business sense. Here are simple talking points you can use in
messages to your congresspersons.</p>
<ul>
<li>Single-payer will boost the ailing US economy
and provide relief for businesses large and small, because it will
cancel the high expense and administrative burden of employer-based
health care.</li>
<li>At 3% administrative costs, Medicare (which
would become universal under single payer) is very efficient compared
to the 15-30% administrative costs of for-profit insurance.</li>
<li>Single-payer will relieve cities, towns and
school boards from having to bear the cost of providing health
insurance to employees, allowing responsible officials to reduce their
budgets and lower local property taxes.</li>
<li>Single-payer gives government and citizens a
stake in preventive medicine and promotion of good health habits to
keep costs down.</li>
</ul>
<p>Don't let Democratic and Republican politicians
destroy hope for real health care reform. Don't be fooled: Obamacare
won't provide health care for all Americans. It will drive up heatlh
care costs and impose 'mandates' that result in multi-million-dollar
taxpayer-funded subsidies to insurance companies. Obamacare is not the
solution. The only real solution to America's health care crisis is
Single-Payer. Please <a moz-do-not-send="true"

your support</a> for the Green Party of the United States, the only
political party that stands firmly for a Single Payer Health Care
System, and for health care as a right as the most practical way to
ensure our nation's health security. Your gift of any amount will
strengthen the Green Party's voice for Single Payer. <br>
<br>
Sustainers are our base of support, enabling us to count upon a base
level of income each month to pay staff, sustain our Washington DC
office, and support advocacy of issues like Single Payer. Many people
find that it is more affordable to spread their donation out monthly.
During our time together in Durham, we called for an increase in
monthly sustainers from 250 to 500. With your help we can meet the
$10,000 per month goal. You can <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=3GSMaFTWcrq%2FKg7Aerq7i1uIQMFhLGxl">start
your sustainer here</a>. If you are already a sustainer, please
consider increasing your level by as much as you can by contacting
Brian Bittner at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:brian@gp.org">brian@gp.org</a> or 202-319-7191. <br>
<br>
If you would prefer or are better able to <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=3MnnEZBlV4mAgBQ%2B7nEeWVuIQMFhLGxl">give
a one-time donation</a>, your support will be put to good use as we
move forward. Remember, The Green Party takes no money from real
estate companies, investment firms, or insurance companies. In fact, we
don't take any corporate money because we think corporate money in
politics is wrong.<a moz-do-not-send="true"
