My story is every citizen's story, or wait, maybe not for the wealthiest among us. We are being taken advantage of by the drug manufacturers and the insurance companies. And now our government wants to cut the amount of money that they pay doctors and hospitals for caring for the elderly and poor.

We must all demand that our elected officials support House Resolution 676, the United States National Health Insurance Act, a single payer health care plan, which is NOT socialized medicine.
