For 80 eighty years, U.S. Presidents - both Democrat and Republican - have tried to pass one form or another of national health care. President Obama, President Clinton, and certainly not President McCain cannot pass national health care because they think it is the right thing to do.

The drug companies, the hospital associations, the medical equipment industry, and the American Medical Association, to name a few actors, will be out in force to stop any push for national health care. We need a tsunami of public opinion at the grass roots level to rise up and overwhelm the Beltway lobbyists.

Our members are ready. Even the business community is concerned about how health care cuts into their operating costs and profits. It is time to ignite this flame and make a huge difference for our members and for all people across this country
