Change We Need – And Can Afford

Because of the current financial crisis many observers see no point in discussing an expansion of health care coverage this year – either federal or state. Indeed, it is true that the current crisis is adding greatly to our public debt. And it is true that total health costs in the US are already twice as high per person per year as those of any other nation and rising faster. If we were to start paying to insure our 50 million uninsured – plus an estimated 40 million Americans who are under insured – costs would escalate hugely. This would be true with any of the recent proposals for insuring the population – except one.

Rochester Rallies for Single Payer Health Care

#file_1#

Seventy Rochester citizens and activists gathered in the rain at Washington Square park today shouting slogans like “Human need not corporate greed” and “No bills for pills.” They were there to show their support for HR 676, a bill in the US Congress that would provide universal, single-payer health care to all citizens. We already have such a system in place for people over 65 called Medicare. HR 676 would lower that 65 year age threshold to age zero. Rochester Rep Eric Massa (D-29) is a co-sponsor of HR 676, but Rochester's senior Rep Louise Slaughter (D-28) is opposed to it. The purpose of today's action was to get the influential Democrat to change her vote and sign on to 676.

Rochester Indymedia is now requiring editor approval for account creation.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.  As before, we will continue to be Rochester's grassroots news and education site.  Thank you for your continued support and remember, "Don't hate the media, be the media!"

Editorial Meeting Times / Locations

The Rochester Independent Media Center (R-IMC) is no longer meeting regularly.
We will set up meetings by necessity and appointment. Please contact us at rochesterindymedia@rocus.org.
