This blog post is specifically for the District of Columbia, whose citizens are invited to join their Barack Obama group that supports single-payer national health insurance.
Fact - Health care is #1 for many. Many Americans have health care as their #1 domestic issue. Some polls indicate that it's #1; others show it #2 after the economy.
Fact - Americans Want Single-Payer. Over half of Americans want single-payer national health insurance and are getting more more and more solid in their position. Why? Because more and more education is occurring. Example: a new web site is currently starting up that has gotten excellent reviews: www.99oh9.org
Fact - In September Clinton and Edwards Declared Opposition to What Americans Want. On September 20 Clinton and Edwards set their positions in concrete against single-payer, at least for the foreseeable future.
Fact - Obama Could Change His Position to Single-Payer. Obama has the flexibility to change his health care proposal to single-payer.
Fact - Obama Requires Voter Mandate. Obama communicated on 4-3-2007 in New Hampshire that voters must establish a mandate to the U.S. Congress that single-payer is to become law. Why? Because it's a signficant change to the U.S. financing of health care, and he wants voters to communicate their support and establish the mandate.
Fact - Obama is Consistent. He frequently calls for citizens to be involved with the political process. His requirement for a voter mandate on health care policy is an example.
Fact - Obama Suggested Letter-Writing. On the same date of 4-3-07, during his New Hampshire community meeting on health care, Obama suggested that voters can establish the health care policy mandate by writing one thousand to two thousand (personally-composed) letters in most or all of the 435 U.S. Congressional Districts.

Facts regarding HILLARY CLINTON
Although I don't have a reference for this one, my wife and I will never forget what Senator Clinton said in a speech in late 2006. What she said went something like this: "If there's anything that I learned from 1993-1994 about health care policy, it's this: the health insurance companies must be included." Sorry, Hillary, that is the wrong answer to our health care financing problems! Better yet, see the following addition from see Julia of California ... an additional FACT about Hillary Clinton below! It's even better information!
From Julia of California ...FACT - Hillary Clinton has failed at health care when she had a democratic congress, senate, and married to the president. We can't afford to let her fail again. America NEEDS healthcare.
