About the Website and the Plan to Get the Knowledge and Numbers

This website and its Million Letters for Health Care campaign are the support for individuals and groups who decide to follow a 5-step action plan regarding:
— helping Americans become knowledgeable about an improved Medicare for All
— inviting Americans to take action in sufficient numbers to get an improved Medicare for All.

Improved Medicare for All can and will be accomplished via single-payer health care, which is explained within the explanation of Improved Medicare for All.

Fundamental Positive Change to Our Society … which will make it more caring

We very much need to prepare each other for this very positive change in our society. Change can sometimes seem scary to people. Anyone who learns and/or acts to help get an improved Medicare for All is doing something very important: helping to make others feel comfortable with this important change.

We need to make this subject “dinner table talk” or “kitchen talk” or “water cooler talk” or “the talk about town” or “the buzz” or however you want to describe it.

We do not propose that you get into arguments about this topic. We do not propose that you press people hard about their need to believe in improved Medicare for All. However, it would be good for you to be able to answer questions and comments. The Resources, Answers and Education web pages are intended to help you.

By having access to health care for everyone, we will all benefit: economically, physically and emotionally. In other words, “we’re all in this together.”

The People Behind This Website and Campaign

Medicare for All teams provide you with the information and the services of this website and its letters campaign.

Invitation to You for Your Scope

What can be in your scope.

We invite you to have the Vision and use the Resources. Please spend some of your time on this important activity of telling others and getting them to sign up to stand up for single-payer (health care) to achieve an improved Medicare for All.

Whether you are an individual working alone or you are a member of a group or organizations, you can participate in the process of executing the Strategy and following the Plan. Those can be in your hands as part of helping reach the Goal.

Our Belief About Getting Single-Payer … using this website and its letters campaign**

We very firmly believe that we can and will have an improved Medicare for All: sooner, not later. Some people in the U.S. have shared that they or someone they know have been trying to get Medicare for All for 30 to 40 years.
We have worked hard and are still working hard to
1) provide resources at this website to help Americans know the facts and
2) provide the assistance to those who sign up to take action via the letters campaign.

If you see anything for which you feel that we made an error or that you feel is now out-of-date, please contact Bob so that he can either fix it or have a team review and refine/correct it.

About Bob. After several years of doing research about health care policy, our “point person” Bob got the idea about having a letters campaign in January 2007. A few months later he heard Barack Obama communicate his suggestion that a thousand to two thousand letters be sent to every one of the 435 U.S. Representatives, which totals roughly a million letters. His initial campaign title was “Notes and Votes” to represent letters flowing to Washington, D.C. and votes occurring that impact who is in the U.S. Congress. Then he realized by someone else mentioning the same or similar title at a meeting and then later not seeing any follow-up, he realized that he had already initiated a “Million Letters for Health Care” campaign, so he and our technical team switched the name and moved the website content to its new address, this web site.

Invitation

All of us in all of the teams invite you to take full advantage of the website information and the letters campaign. These services are provided by the Medicare for All teams.

Bob, Who Initiated the Medicare for All Website and the Million Letters for Health Care Campaign

I am retired and devote my life to making contributions to the national single-payer (health care) movement. That’s the movement to get an improved Medicare for All via non-profit single-payer health care. My career was in engineering (research, then manufacturing) and then computer applications. I am accustomed to operating based as firmly as possible on facts. I have personal and family experiences in other countries, registered patients for a year, had significant personal medical experiences, have studied health care policy for over six years, and know single-payer activists and health care policy experts from across the country who give me support by being on the teams mentioned above.

As indicated in the vision statements, I believe that the United States will have single-payer , an improved Medicare for All (not privatized) … when enough Americans learn what single-payer is and then at least a million of those Americans participate and do the steps of the “Help Get Care” plan that we recommend.

Let’s have the FIRST of
the following 2 possibilities:

DEMOCRACY IN ACTION
with the Facts

Requirement: About ONE MILLION AMERICANS
communicating to U.S. Representatives
are required
for true Grassroots Action
for Democracy in Action

instead of

CONTINUED CONTROL of OUR OPINIONS
with Sound Bites

Requirement: the TENS of MILLIONS of DOLLARS
have been spent and are being spent
to Influence Our Opinions

We, the People, Want Support!

We are following the action plan to help get care.

Dedication

Refer to the book Health Care Meltdown by Robert H. LeBow, MD. The book’s 2007 update by C. Rocky White, MD. was released in mid-August 2007. This campaign is dedicated to the memory of Bob LeBow. I recommend that you purchase this book; specific pages of it are referenced at this web site. The book is an important resource for the single-payer movement. The book can be purchased at www.amazon.com

Special note about “Real Life Stories” that are included at this website. We hope that you read and listen to the experiences of the two women who are stranded in Canada due to the excellent health care there.

Access to this website is also available via the following internet address alternatives:

By the time the United States implements an improved Medicare for All, the plan is to have a Good Health for All website devoted to the ultimate objective of having good health for all. In other words, we need to all strive for our good health and the health of our family, friends and neighbors.
