A letter to my Democratic Congressman re health care.

After watching videos today of weasely Democratic Senators, such as D. Feinstein and equally weasely
Democratic Representatives (such as Linda Sanchez (D-CA) and Denny Heck (D-WA) I had just as much as I could take on the cowardice, tinged with greed, of those who refuse to take on Insurance and Pharma Cartels in pursuit of Medicare-for-all single-payer. Ordinarily I rarely write letters to Congresscritters. DiFi sends me drivel when I question her. Carbajal is a Dem. with income tax problems of his own (not paying his fair share of tribute to the MIC). Thus it seems likely that he is shirking another civic duty--representing his constituents.

Here is the text of an email I wrote today, requesting a reply:

I am your constituent and a medical doctor. The interest of universal health is an urgent need for millions in this country. We lag behind in health care coverage of all industrialized nations. We can afford billions and trillions of dollars for needless wars, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people in other countries. The U.S. life expectancy has dropped since 2015. Medical bankruptcies now make up a sizable percentage of total bankruptcies. So-called health insurance currently available still leaves millions of people who are allegedly "covered" still unable to afford needed health care. It has been brought to my attention that you are NOT a co-sponsor of Conyers' bill 676 providing single-payer Medicare for all. I would like to know your reason for not doing so. The majority of your constituents as well as a bipartisan majority of citizens, regardless of party affiliation, are in favor of Medicare-for-all single-payer. Why are you not representing the wishes of your constituency?
If my information is incorrect and your have signed on as a co-sponsor, then my apologies. Otherwise, I would appreciate a logical explanation of your refusal to do so.

Here is spineless Sanchez attempting to fend off questions about her refusal to back Conyers' bill 676: (14:23)

And here is corrupt Heck getting heckled for his nonsense: (12:55)

The key words here are the same ones that every member of Congress should be asked by their constituents.

The majority of your constituents as well as a bipartisan majority of citizens, regardless of party affiliation, are in favor of Medicare-for-all single-payer. Why are you not representing the wishes of your constituency?

@gulfgal98
constituent, how the hell am I, your gracious congressional rep, going to get any contributions to my reelection effort from Insurance companies? Huh? Huh? Riddle me that?!"

@gulfgal98 I also found more ammunition for getting rid of establishment DemonRATs.

First on the list is Octogenarian DiFi singing Medusa's song: it's too hard to get single-payer: (2:24)

The next video is about shifty Schiff, corruptocrat from CA: (2:20)

Finally, the third one, which I find most disgusting (almost as disgusting as Tom Price and that is very bad right there) is from alleged physician Ami Bera, also from CA. This sonabitch will NOT support single-payer because blah, blah, blah:

@Alligator Ed
does it cost ten times as much for insulin here in the US than it does in Mexico? When we're paying 5 times, ten times, and more for our medicuiticals than it does in Canada, Mexico and damn near every First World country, doesn't that directly affect our Health Care Costs?
