Meetings should be convened at the local level and coordinated among the area for maximum effect. I suggest a sharing of emails among residents within localities to establish dates for meetings for the purpose of forcing our elected official to abide by our goals of initiating sweeping changes in the way health care is delivered.

An enunciation of the changes to be advocated need to be established and would include at a minimum the PO. Action is crucial and we should deliver a unified mass demand to our elected officials to support our shared goals should begin at once.

It would be a monumental mistake to allow the present health initiative now before the congress to be fractioned or wasted. Nor should we allow ourselves to be subject to the wishes of backward hicks to mandate how we should structure crucial aspects of our lives.

Is there any reason then, why AIG cannot be used as a means for underwriting the expenses of the Health Care Reform program? If not, then why not get really ambitious and put these assets to work financing at least a part of the ailing Social Security and Medicare programs as well?
