** As explained thoroughly at the Barack Obama page, in 2003 President Obama expressed his strong support by saying this in a 6/30/2003 speech: "I happen to be a proponent of single-payer universal health care plan ..." and in 2007 he specified at a town hall meeting in New Hampshire that a couple thousand Americans must send letters in every U.S. Congressional District. That's a total of roughly one million personal letters sent in the U.S. Mail.

- Superstars - strong supporters. This feature of the Support Monitor is currently not being maintained, because the number of cosponsors who can be considered "superstars" is relatively few in number. That will change as Americans become informed and become participants via the Million Letters for Health Care Campaign.
- The Voters' Guide feature, provided in the past, is probably not going to be provided again by Medicare for All Team member efforts, which are now focused on final preparations for and execution of the letters campaign. Due to the single-payer movement efforts, including the letters campaign, there is too much chance of having political positions change quickly to have a candidate be in favor of Improved Medicare for All, at which time the voter's guide would be out-of-date for that person.
TIP: Since support in the U.S. Congress will be climbing, ask any candidate in an election if they support, promote and educate regarding Improved Medicare for All. EXPECT A CLEAR AND SUPPORTIVE REPLY. Or simply listen to them, because a supporter will mention it every chance they get to speak as part of helping to educate the general public.
We, the People, Want Support!
Members of the U.S. Congress,
Remember This: Notes and Votes.
Read Our Notes on Our Letters.
Watch Our Votes on Our Ballots.
**Note about the column of "Need" information, above: we suggest that the legislation for an improved Medicare for All is extremely important for our country's citizens and businesses. Therefore, U.S. citizens need to cause the "political will" to be so strong that there is at least a two-thirds majority (67%) of members in the U.S. House and two-thirds in the U.S. Senate who are solid supporters. Solid supporters leave NO doubt about their position, such as these examples of actions among supporters: communicate, document, advocate, promote, and educate.
