Senate Healthcare Bill benefits *CHILDREN* of the Foster Care System:

By Barbara C. Benedict - Dec 22nd, 2009 at 9:03 pm EST

Also listed in: 10 groups

Senate Healthcare Bill benefits *CHILDREN* of the Foster Care System:

The current Senate Healthcare bill would give former foster care children under the age of *25* eligibility for Medicaid and EPSDT benefits. This helps children, as they come of legal adult age and leave the foster care system, to continue their healthcare support.

This extended Medicaid can help give these still very young and vulnerable adults more chance of being successful in creating a new and healthy life.

Here's what I've dug up for myself (actual *as of today* current bill language) so far:

Easy to say "No...." To my fellow Single Payer & Public Option Advocates

Easy to say "No...." To my fellow Single Payer & Public Option Advocates

I know you care, I really do. And I respect your views. I am a Single Payer & Public Option Advocate. AND I am one of the masses in need. I’m not quitting on these goals. I’m still working to make them more possible. I was right there beside you carrying your literature, calling Congress, driving out of town for meetings -until now- until these final hours.

The reality is the choice is "Yes now," or WAIT for a date in the future (maybe decades) that puts getting anything better a very long shot. Not one person has shown me a bill with a public option AND with *all* the needed vote commitments attached to pass NOW. Give me something that will start helping the sick and in need *right now.*

I have no doubt you can -in your mind- "Win" by killing this bill. But I don't believe you will get a public option this round. PLEASE DON'T just "KILL THE BILL" in CONFERENCE without *all* the votes *in hand* for a completely secure Public Option bill, with an immediate implementation timeline.

The cost of waiting is too high! I am not willing to play “all or nothing“ with people’s Healthcare, --and for 45,000. this year, with their life! I want what you want. Really! *Read the bill! Easy to say "Soon…."

Why would a SINGLE PAYER & PUBLIC OPTION Advocate be glad for the Senate Healthcare bill moving forward?

Why would a SINGLE PAYER & PUBLIC OPTION Advocate be glad for the Senate Healthcare bill moving forward?

12-21-2009 By Barbara Benedict

I'm not celebrating blindy and wildly, I'm just hopeful now and interested in moving forward where we can. Over and over other*(1) Single Payer Advocates keep saying "We can do better!" I keep asking them, "Show me the Votes and I'm right there with you supporting a different bill" but only one that's on the table right now --not some "wished for" time in the future.

(1)* I am a Single Payer Advocate!

I'm not going to blame the Obama Administration completely for the choices my Representative made. The behind the scenes were/are very ugly yes, but our Representatives made their choice. If they really wanted to holdout to support a Public Option or Single Payer --yes, at risk of their individual careers in Congress-- they would have. They should have been willing to lay their own butts and careers on the line, but they didn't. So they either disagreed ideologically with a Single Payer or Public Option ideology, or they covered their own butts (in the Congressional fraternity). Legally their vote was 100% theirs to make. They made their choice. OK, so “Next!” After a very long fight, time to move forward.

Soon (hopefully) we will have some power back in the House to fix the bill in Conference best can be for this round. Meanwhile 45,000. people die annually in the US related to lack of health insurance. This right here and now fact is completely unacceptable to me! The current plan, that the moment the President signs the bill, all children will have access to healthcare, and people who are already very sick can't be dropped from their insurance coverage is fantastic! I cannot comprehend those who say "we get nothing." One could choose to look at the glass as ¼ full…

Right *now* I have a friend with a baby girl that has a catastrophic life threatening illness. While her baby girl battles for her life, I hope that the security of her baby girl not being dropped from coverage will at least give some comfort to her and her family during this terrible, terrible time.

Look someone in the eye that is sick now, possibly dying, and *has no healthcare* and tell them you'd rather they wait for a more perfect bill. I can't do it! If you can do this, then how about at least helping someone without any insurance now buy a plan for the long wait ahead --out of your own pocket-- while they wait for better? It could be a learning process… But even if you wanted to do this, you can't really even do it for them until pre-existing condition exclusions are eliminated. So far in the current bill, pre-existing condition exclusions will mostly be eliminated and that’s huge!

Right now I don't really care (the most) if private big pharma and insurance gets richer in the short run*(2). They will continue to do so no matter what so long as they exist. I feel confident the Single Payer & Public Option movement will get stronger and will eventually eliminate Insurance Companies and/or their abuses one step at a time. But it takes time! I'm not comfortably patient waiting for this time in the slightest. For me, current key healthcare bill promises wouldn't even kick in until 2014 --way too late to help my personal situation. But my passion for this moving forward is not all about me.

**2 There are lots of creative ways to force some key issues down the road, once everybody is on a plan. To be discussed later, when it’s relevant.

Contrary to those who would imply the opposite, I too am fighting for those who have no one to stick up for them. Being an activist and maybe savvier regarding my rights than some non-active folks, hasn't gotten me any better treatment or help for my personal situation. Frankly participating in the fight for SP and PO cause has exhausted me and hasn't been the best thing for my personal health… Every minute I give to the causes takes away from my personal immediate healthcare battles. So make no mistake! I too am one of those folks who need help and a voice to stick up for them.

I know the game, we activists play just as many as Congress; It’s called human nature and we are all carriers of this disease. I am fully willing to lay my “likeability quotient” on the line in order to stand up for the currently very unpopular thing in my activist community. I’m not going to keep my mouth shut and “go with the flow.” If I did, that would make me just like the Congress members who have so disappointed me.

PS. Even if they disagree with my position vehemently, I genuinely respect those who have taken their stand publicly. I respect those who are not just hanging around waiting to join the “winning team” but instead are putting their personal capital on the line; At voting time and/or general support time, I will remember who did, and who didn’t. It’s a “character thing.”

Health Insurance Reform

By Jane Anne Jeffries Johnson - Aug 12th, 2009 at 11:37 am EDT

Also listed in: 10 groups

I retired from the Los Angeles Unified School District in February. I felt it was my civic duty to give up my job and live on my retirement, since the economy is struggling. I moved to Friday Harbor, Washington, where the economy is doing better than in California. I am able to keep abreast of the changes President Obama is making toward a more viable society and economy. I urge everyone who voted for him to continue to support him now. The sharks are swarming, and there is blood in the water. It's time to come together as a force for change.

Our Very Future Is At Stake - An Urgent Plea To Senate Democrats

By Michael from Vista, CA - Jul 1st, 2009 at 1:37 am EDT

Also listed in: CA Call Team | North San Diego County for Obama

Dear Senator Reed and Democratic Senators,

In so many ways we face a critical turning point in the history of our democracy. The inclusion of a "Public Option" in any healthcare reform bill is clearly the only way to significantly transform the current heartless, inhumane, inefficient profit-driven system to one with the potential to restore justice, equity and humanity to the delivery of healthcare. As important as healthcare is for our economy and our sprit as a nation, far more is at stake right now. I don't think it is an exaggeration to say our very future is at stake. Current polls indicate that over seventy five percent of the American public want a "Public Option" for healthcare. If the democrats in congress cannot deliver the legislation that the people need and want, the American people will lose ALL faith in the Democtatic system. After many years of apathy in the face of a corporate dominated Republican administration, the people rallied around the hope of genuine change and brought the democrats back to power. If the democrats in congress choose to betray the American people by favoring the Healthcare Lobby, that has donated millions of dollars to their campaign funds, it will be the end of the Democratic party and the end of the American conscience. I guarantee that the Democratic party will see record low election participation in terms of donations, volunteers and voting. You will be responsible for handing our government back to the Republicans, the oligarchs and the theocrats. With so much at stake, you must use every available tool at your disposal to build unified and unanimous Democratic support for the "Public Option". President Obama has called for the "Public Option". He is the president that we elected and whose coattails brought the Democrats to majority in Congress. Seventy-five percent of the people want a "Public Option". This is your last and only chance to show that you have the courage to save the American democracy. The American people need you to be a hero.

Sincerely,
Michael A. Mufson

Why Donate?

By Michael from Vista, CA - Jul 1st, 2009 at 1:25 am EDT

Also listed in: CA Call Team | North San Diego County for Obama

(i just got an email from Mitch Stewart asking me to donate to the "Personal Stories" advertising effort. Below is my response)

Dear Mitch et. al.,

I think this campaign is a great idea – but I’m not quite ready to send money to it yet. In your communications, you remain vague about the program you are fighting to get support for. Are you advocating Single Payer, Public Option, Health Co-ops, 5 YearTrigger, 10 year Trigger? Please be more specific!! I understand that getting public support is important — but Public Option already has 72% support. How do you plan to get the support of the handful of democratic Senators and Representatives that seem to be more interested in money from the Healthcare Lobby than the interest and will of their constituents. I really want sweeping and significant reform, but I need more details from you before you get my donation.

Many thanks for all you are doing.

Sincerely,
Michael A. Mufson

Remove top management of AIG, take over executive management *now.*

By Barbara C. Benedict - Mar 18th, 2009 at 5:05 pm EDT

Also listed in: 9 groups

As proxy representative of every American's tax dollars, and acting as "doctor" in this critical situation, the President and his administration needs to use all means necessary to save our tax dollars *immediately.* Remove the current top management of AIG and take over executive management *now.*

I looked up the general mechanics of a "Hostile Takeover."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeover I'm not a lawyer but it seems to me that that there is a general precedent to follow here; as the majority owner of AIG, the government should immediately go forward and throw out all the top management of AIG and appoint new management. Giving the current top brass another single day to do more damage and hide evidence of their fraudulent --and at best incompetent deeds-- is crazy.

Recovering the bonuses is not enough. The administration needs to take complete control of AIG now, get in there, audit every single bit of accounting, start prosecution of all that participated in fraud, and close any division that is not needed immediately.

Perhaps the only "bonus" given out at AIG should be a whistleblower reward to employees coming forward with information leading to the successful prosecution of crooks within and associated with the company's fraudulent activities.

The administration, acting as "doctor" in this situation with AIG, would be guilty of medical negligence if it didn't step in and use *all means necessary* to eradicate the disease in this company in a timely fashion. "Timely" in this critical situation is *immediately.*

Remove the current top management of AIG and take over executive management *now.*

Supporting President Obama's Universal Health Care Plan is fiscally smart!

By Barbara C. Benedict - Feb 26th, 2009 at 5:19 pm EST

Also listed in: 10 groups

I sent this letter to my representatives today.

I hope you can find time to send your own letters too!

Dear Senators and Congressman,

Please know you are doing the right thing --and the fiscally smart thing -- by average Americans and Business in supporting President Obama's Universal Health Care Plan. Keep in mind that if I don't have to spend the entire --over $700. per month that I spend as a single woman, no children, on monthly health insurance (HMO) I would gladly put the difference of the money back into the American economy. I would gladly support growth in the American GDP immediately through using any savings in a "stimulating way."

Run these numbers! For example, an additional $500 - $700. per month pumped back into the economy by an average person like me, multiply me by millions... that's a lot of money! It's nearly 10x any annual tax rebate/stimulus check and it's *every month.* Hundreds of dollars per citizen put back into the American economy -- widespread across all goods and services categories. It's the difference between being able to purchase a much needed new car, making the mortgage, purchasing goods and services in our communities, paying for some college --or going back to college, donating to our local food pantries, etc. etc.

Congress please run these numbers and tell your Republican associates and anyone opposed to an affordable Universal Health Care Plan that they need to rethink! They need to see the big picture effects of how affordable health care in itself can boost the American economy immediately and dramatically. This one example is only the tip of the iceberg in measureable positive economic effects an affordable Universal Healthcare Plan will have on the United States economy.

Obama-Biden T's are in! Look great, great quality. At this moment I have Med, Large, XLarge --while they last.

These are official DNC merchandise -- purchased through the DNC. You can buy them online at the Obama Store for $25.00 but I have them in hand now, and will give discounted price to those who need one for the Amgen Tour "Meet at the Finish Line" event and special 'at cost' price for GoTeam Members, Precinct Leaders, active Dems and "Obama" volunteers -- while they last! If you want one, leave me a message on 760-846-2133 and I'll tell you where we can meet up to get you your T. First come, first served. Sorry, no "reservations."

Rush! Urgent request: Navy Blue "Obama 08" T's for this Sunday in Escondido

By Barbara C. Benedict - Feb 18th, 2009 at 10:42 pm EST

Also listed in: 6 groups

Hello! *Just in case you happen to get this in time....

I'm sorry this is a "super hot rush" and that I don't have time to call anyone direct due to closing east coast business hours I'm working with at this moment -- but when opportunity knocks....

I'm pursing the possibility of a bulk order of Navy Blue "Obama 08" T's at 15.00 plus shipping and tax from the Obama Store's fullfillment house in Ohio*. If I can't negotiate a lower price this would mean approximately $20.00 for the T. If I can get them cheaper, all cost savings will be passed on to you.

The goal is to get these T's in time to wear at the "show your support for President Obama/his plans" this Sunday at the Amgen (cycling) Race finish line in downtown Escondido. Many folks have expressed wishing they had a T in general and some specifically for this event. SDCDP HQ doesn't have any T's so I'm pursuing on my own and trying to negotiate a better price than the above. *See T pict at bottom of email.

*Urgent! Please let me know if, and how many you would definitely be able to committ to plus size preferred if a size other than Large is possible in this order. *Please note asking for one T would imply a "worst case" commitment to Large if only Large can be ordered in order to get the best rate on a batch. Due to bulk price requirements I may have to order all the same size (Men's Large) but will pursue as much flexiblity as they will allow.

I have to place an order early tomorrow morning (Thursday) first thing (I realize you may not get this in time, sorry!). I will try again for you later if the interest is there but this rush is to meet the needs of this Sunday at the Amgen (cycling) Race finish line in Escondido.
Please let me know. If I get your request in time I'll order one for you. *First come first serve.

This Sunday Feb 22, television cameras (from all over the world potentially) will be here, in downtown Escondido at the race's finish line to cover the Amgen cycling race (with Lance Armstrong). What better way to CHANGE our town's old Red image to new Blue! Come out to the finish line in Escondido (or race line where-ever you can in California) and wear your Blue "Obama" shirts -- and other DEM gear -- but especially "Obama" gear! As you know, the "Obama" logo is internationally known so we can get the most mileage in the press from this!

I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.

We just made history.

And I don't want you to forget how we did it.

You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it's time for change.

I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign.

We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next.

But I want to be very clear about one thing...

All of this happened because of you.
