Give Kay a call about health care reform
November 10th, 2009 by John Grooms in Boomer with an Attitude
Now that the health care reform fight has moved to the U.S. Senate, North Carolina’s Sen. Kay Hagan is seen as a key figure in determining what kind of reform comes out of Congress. Hagan supports reform, but has made noises about being “flexible” on the public option part of a reform bill. Our view is that not including a public option would be disastrous, with little to keep the health insurance companies honest in terms of premiums and coverage. You can be sure that Hagan is going to have her ear bent every which way by health industry lobbyists — including the galling folks who run Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina – who are urging her to oppose a public option. It’s up to supporters of real health care reform to contact Hagan and tell her to stand up to the insurance interests. This is how real politics works, folks, so go beyond your vote for Obama, and make some calls if you want to help move a progressive agenda forward.
Here are phone numbers for Sen. Hagan: Toll Free, 1-877-852-9462; D.C. office, 202-224-6342; and the Charlotte office, 704-334-2448.
Hey, how's it going — call me!

“Our” view, Grooms? Last time I checked, you were not a spokesperson for the Democratic party. But good idea to remind the ignorant voters what they should actually be doing instead of just following partisan ideals to a T because it fits into their lifestyle and how they want to appear.

Who will keep government honest Grooms? The main stream media sure is not gonna do it, since they love Obama so much. Leave it to the liberals to avoid the obvious.
An insurance company cannot make you buy insurance.
A government can make you buy insurance and even throw you in jail if you give them any lip about it.
Just read the bill, I am telling the truth. If you do not buy Obamacare you can be fined up to 250,000 dollars and upto 5 YEARS in jail. All of this for not buying the governments unconstitutional snake oil.
Single payer = single powerful thief called government.
Call Hagan and tell her the health care bill sucks.
Thanks for the numbers Grooms.
