There is an even better way out of the health care crisis than a government-sponsored insurance-friendly universal plan. Get the insurance companies out of the conversation. My friends in New Jersey are doing this right now at Health-Pact. Doctors and medical service providers are paid in advance on a retainer basis. No more pre-approvals. No more denial of coverage. No more co-pays. No more deductibles. Doctors and their patients (not insurers) make the choices about needed care. Please, sir, talk to Health-Pact about this plan, which deserves to go national.

Dennis is a treasure...we desperately need more strong voices like that...hopefully Obama inspires a generation to get educated and involved.

About Me:

I want to inspire America to take a new path, a different direction. I envision an America which has the capacity to reconnect with the heart of the world; an America which proceeds in the world optimistically and courageously. An America which understands that the world is interdependent, that it is inter-connected, and that what we do today impacts future generations.

I want to break the shackles of fear which have deprived our citizens of rights. We need to change the way this country values humanity, so that instead of fear and lies, we can live our lives based on principles of peace and hope. We need to regain the trust of the American people and we need to have a government which trusts the American people.

It's time for America to resume its glorious journey; time to reject shrinking jobs and wages, disappearing savings and rights; time to reject the detour towards fear and greed. It's time to look out upon the world for friends, not enemies; time to counter the control of corporations over our politics, our economy, our resources, and mass media. It's time for those who have much to help those who have little, by maintaining a progressive tax structure. It's time to tell the world that we wish to be their partner in peace, not their leader in war. Most of all, it is time for America to again be the land where dreams come true, because the government is on the side of its people.
