Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
At Mondragon - both the mountain and the cooperative city - in Spain (written about in "Threshold" book)
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
I want national health care for all, single payer!
We need both health care reform and freedom from the insurance parasites!
I would like to see health insurance reform AND accountability; health care reform and reasoned and reasonable tort reform, (I hate to use that term because of the cannotation, such as it is). I am a victim of all the aforementioned. For 12 years now I awake in the morning go upstairs, read, listen to the radio, watch videos we get from the library, or, (for the past week), go on the web. At night I go back downstairs and go to bed. 12 years now! This was due to a misdiagnosed brain stem anerysm and a system bent on fiegning responsibility and accountability. What can a diminished citizen do against a group of systems, working thick as thieves, to redress grievences?
Health care providers deserve to be well paid. Insurance companies do NOT provide health care. To the contrary, they endeavor to deny health care to their customers whenever possible...and in a purely business sense, deprive the health care provider from serving the patient, thereby preventing the free enterprise they claim to promote and foster.
what part of "profits mean they are stealing from you" don 't they understand? Also unrestricted quarterly increase in profit is unstainable.
Medicare for all! Simple!
I've had universal health care all my life and i'm 58 yrs old, so how did I do it?....I was born in Canada, dont let anyone tell you that it isn't great . Even though we pay slightly higher taxes in Canada I still pay less than the avarage American when you factor in the cost of an avarage american health insurance Plan. I would probably be broke or dead by now if it wasn't for the Canadian health care system.
The good news here is that the pollsters are starting to ask the questions that split the opposition to "Obamacare" into those that say it goes too far and those that see it as a Republican plan that doesn't really go anywhere. I have known for almost a year that the opposition to the plan because it doesn't go far enough plus the people who support the current reform far outnumber the direct opposition to health care reform. It is really good news that this fact is finally coming to light.
All people must have access to healthcare.
Healthcare reform will start only when everyone understand that INSURANCE and MEDICINE should be separated. Ilnesss of the person is not insurance case.
