Steiger"wierd" strikes again

Well, tuned in last night to hear John Steigerwald ranting that he doesn't want the government controlling his healthcare. I guess he would rather take his chances with the for profit health insurance companies. What does he get for his efforts???

1. No guarantee that he won't be dropped from coverage for any reason.
2. Possibly denied claims for no good reason.
3. Rates that continually increase to keep paying stock dividends and CEO salaries.
4. 47 million Americans without insurance. (These folks have to wait to get really sick and go the ER for health care.) Doesn't this raise the cost of insuance for everyonce else?

Let's all support HR 676 that would expand Medicare to ALL Americans. What could be better for America than all of our citizens content in the knowledge that they won't have to worry about getting the health care they need.
