Our fight for equal access to healthcare for all is about democracy, human rights, civil rights, and basic human decency.
Congress and our legislators are violating our human rights by keeping Single Payer reform off the table, and not allowing the Congressional Budget Office to compare the costs of various reform bills (which would clearly show that single payer is the best for the country economically). Our legislators have sold out to corporate interests to the detriment of the health and lives of the rest of us.
Single Payer is the only financially viable option. This is one reason why your legislators have tried to keep Single Payer off of the table.
Email or Fax your Representatives and insist that HR 676 be scored by the Congressional Budget office.

Here's the Solution
A new study shows that Single Payer healthcare reform would be a major stimulus for the us economy and would provide:
** 2.6 Million New Jobs,
** $317 Billion in Business Revenue,
** $100 Billion in Wages, and
** $44 Billion New Tax Revenues
Here’s the study: http://www.calnurses.org/research/pdfs/ihsp_sp_economic_study_2009.pdf
See the YouTube clip (5 minutes) about how to pay for healthcare reform “HR676 - The Single Payer Solution, Part 4 of 4": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxi7DnCH3zk It’s about public financing and private delivery.
It’s clear that single-payer is the solution, not only in terms of providing quality care for all, but also economically!

So
Are you going to settle for the present long term trend that permits medical service corporations to siphon more and more and more net worth out of individuals, employers, and extended families in general?
Or,
Are you going to get health care reform with a public plan option that FORCES the prices back down to about half of what they otherwise would be if you don't?
