With 46 million Americans without health insurance and thousands more unable to afford the high-deductible coverage they already have, it is clear our health care system is in grave need of an overhaul. Most other industrialized countries provide universal coverage for every citizen. Unfortunately, the United States does not.
The skyrocketing cost of health care seriously hampers the ability of responsible businesses to provide family-sustaining wages and benefits to employees. It makes the job of negotiating fair contracts for union members more difficult, too.
In the midst of all the rhetoric about health care reform in Washington, D.C., Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is one of the only voices in the Senate who consistently pushes for a single-payer (think Medicare) option that comprehensively covers everyone. He has asked Americans to sign his petition:
SUPPORT SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE: SIGN THE PETITION!
As a working Vermonter, please take a moment to sign on. Together, we will send a clear message to Congress.
