Health Care Is Not Only Essential-It Is A MUST!


June 23-2009:

Health Care Is Not Only Essential-It Is A MUST!

Dear Senator/Congressperson,

  Can I depend on you to ardently advocate for, and support the president's Proposed Health Care Plan as I do?

Listed hereunder, are some points that I have outlined, which (to my mind), needs special attention.


* Ensure that SINGLE PAYER representation are at the table during these discussions.

* Ensure that all doctors in general practice are paid relatively equal, regardless of whether he/she is attending to a patient with Medicaid or Medicare insurance.

* Ensure that all patients have the option to choose their own preferred Hospital/Primary Care Physician.

* Ensure that all patients have access to Dental Care (fillings, extractions, cleaning/oral hygiene, and capping loose or missing fillings).

* Ensure that all patients have access to pain management, massage therapy, drug and substance abuse counseling, medication adherence counseling, and blood tests (including HIV Viral Load monitoring).

* Ensure access to maternity care, pre-natal care, post-natal care, pre-abortion counseling, and post abortion counseling.

* Ensure that all doctors accept all patients that are insured or not insured, as a humanitarian gesture, and not simply an emergency consultation, with a prescription issued that the patient cannot afford to fill.

FINALLY:

Health Care is not something that has to be considered, or encouraged.

Health Care is something that ALL societies in this modern era MUST provide for EVERY citizen!

Sincerely,
