Let Go of the Status Quo

"Why didn't you tell your audience that the American government was largely responsible for that? After all, it is Congress that ties health insurance to employment by imposing a tax penalty on insurance that actually stays with you when you lose your job. If we got rid of those stupid tax penalties, people like Ms. Cervantes and Messrs. Graham and Maher could get coverage that sticks with them through the rough times."

Why did you tell them, Michael Cannon that the reason I couldnt afford the Cobra benefits was because the capitalist insurance company wanted 4 times what my employer paid for me to keep my insurance and I had to choose between rent and insurance while unemployed.

Of course our elected officials are still receiving money from lobby sources to promote their agenda.

Who have you written to Mr. Cannon, to request or demand that we be covered for necessary medical treatment to keep alive? Put your money where mouth is because Michael Moore did and you are only here to do us a disservice!
