Single-Payer Health Care is the BIGGEST ISSUE we face
Edited on Sat Jun-20-09 01:12 PM by DontTreadOnMe
I can't think of any other bigger problem our country faces right now.

It affects every person in this country.

It is TIME we DEMAND action from our representatives. Al Franken is the 60th vote for preventing any filibuster.
The DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVES no longer have ANY EXCUSE not to pass Single-Payer Health Care!

I am losing my patience with our Democratic Leaders!

2. Maybe
Maybe not. I'd put AGW ahead of it. We can probably wait five years to address health care with few permanent problems for the Nation.

We canNOT wait five years to substantively address AGW. If we do, then we are in very, very serious trouble...if we're not already.

3. No, campaign finance reform is.
Without that, no real reform will ever happen until our representatives cease to be bought and paid for by corporate $.

4. It is one of the top ten but it isn't number one because
without campaign finance reform there won't be any reform. We have a corporate controlled political system.
