We can continue to do nothing by just standing by, again, and let another opportunity to make a healthcare change slip by saying it was too tough a fight?
So we hope we will keep our converge, next year, that our employers will not go bankrupt or simply say they cannot afford to cover us in order to stay in business by trying to provide care?
And we can pray for our friends, who still not afford coverage, that they don’t get sick, and for those friends, family members, and neighbors facing financial disasters from lack of healthcare, that they find a way out, after we spend ?
Try this:
One Republican, today, a leader, champion the charge against change in healthcare affordability, when asked if it is a "Moral" issue that over 47 million Americans cannot afford healthcare, only states that they do have access and insinuates they just to go to the emergency room, where all the peasants should go I guess, unless your are a member of Congress or in prison, huh?
So what to do?
Protest 21st century style, the pocket book/profit motivator protest.
1) For all of us who can still afford healthcare;
Let's all go to the emergency rooms, across the country, for our next needed visits until the Presidents bill (though I prefer single payer) is passed?
It we cannot make it affordable now let’s make it unaffordable not too?
Why not when:
”…. The hirings are part of a record-breaking influence campaign by the health-care industry, which is spending more than $1.4 million a day on lobbying in the current fight, according to disclosure records…..

With less than three weeks left, the Campus Coalition for Change is working every day to make sure Maine goes blue this November.
This weekend, students from across the state gathered at the Bangor Campaign for Change Office before heading out to canvass the local community.
Students from the University of Southern Maine, Bowdoin College, University of Maine-Farmington, Colby College, the College of the Atlantic, University of Maine-Orono, St. Joseph’s College, Husson College, Bates College, and University of Maine-Machias turned out to show their support.
Young people are playing an important role in the campaign, registering voters, holding Early Vote drives, knocking on doors, making phone calls, and talking to friends, parents, and grandparents about why they believe this year’s Democratic candidates are the best choice for their future.
The Campus Coalition for Change will be organizing on campuses throughout the state.

The prospect of the Democratic presidential nomination being decided by super delegates has also raised the ire of left-wing bloggers, who have suggested it would not be democratic to have party leaders decide between Obama and Clinton.
"This is a complete disaster," blogged Chris Bowers this week on his Open Left website.
"It will shine light on complicated bylaws, and the questionable democratic nature of the delegate selection process instead of on voters. Fascinating as it might be for political junkies, it is not the kind of image Democrats need," Bowers wrote.
Other liberal pundits are piling on against what they call the "tyranny" of the Democratic Party's super delegates.

Mmmmm?
The momentum is building, intensifying, and is contagious, as the foundation built from the efforts in the Super Tues and before in SC, Iowa, and NH, etc., will lead us to victory IF we keep “yes we can’ in the focus.
Thanks for all the Herculean efforts.
Help make sure we get every Obama supporter in your area out to the polls.
