From the page: ""I have a second job!" the two pilots said in unison. One is a substitute teacher. The other works in a coffee shop. You know, maybe it's just me, but the two occupations whose workers shouldn't be humpin' a second job are brain surgeons and airline pilots. Call me crazy."

From the page: "If the last several months have taught us anything it is this: The real boogeyman is alive and well. And it is silence.
How many voices will it take to disrupt the insanity? How many voices will it take to drown out the madness that dominates the airwaves. Screaming is not the solution. Simply pick up the phone, write an email, make a phone call, attend a rally. Send a message to those who measure their heartbeats in votes."

From the page: "Overturning the Austin decision would open the floodgates to unlimited corporate spending during elections and undermine election laws across the country. Those able to spend tens of millions of dollars, like a Fortune 500 company, are much more likely to be heard during an election than average American voters."

From the page: "Senator Max Baucus, the boy genius wonder of the Senate Finance Committee, and the leader of the Gang of Six, has caved in to EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN DEMAND, and hasn't even included the public option in his bill that he's releasing, as we all knew was going to happen. "

From the page: "In many ways, foreign health-care models are not really "foreign" to America, because our crazy-quilt health-care system uses elements of all of them. For Native Americans or veterans, we're Britain: The government provides health care, funding it through general taxes, and patients get no bills. For people who get insurance through their jobs, we're Germany: Premiums are split between workers and employers, and private insurance plans pay private doctors and hospitals. For people over 65, we're Canada: Everyone pays premiums for an insurance plan run by the government, and the public plan pays private doctors and hospitals according to a set fee schedule. And for the tens of millions without insurance coverage, we're Burundi or Burma: In the world's poor nations, sick people pay out of pocket for medical care; those who can't pay stay sick or die. "

What a wonderful idea...
From the page: "No more alphabet soup of government agencies covering a handful of folks who fall into certain narrowly defined categories, each with its own bureaucracy. No more patchwork quilt of systems, with many eligible for no system at all. No more hard working Americans losing sleep at night over the thought that a layoff would mean not only the loss of their income, but the loss of their family's healthcare. No more poor out of work people on Medicaid unable to accept employment because doing so would cost them their healthcare.
Call it what you want: Medicare For All, Americare.....I don't care. It's moral. It's cost efficient. It makes sense."
