Eliminate the healthcare insurance industry that comsumes nearly 1/3 of our healthcare insurance premium dollars. These dollars go to CEO salaries/benefits/perks, shareholder returns, lobbying, political campaign contributions, administrative costs/overhead. and oh, profits. These are dollars that, if recouped, could be used to actually pay for our healthcare. Bring H.R. 676 to the Congressional floor and get it passed into law. That would lower our nation’s over-all cost of healthcare and provide the needed healthcare for every man, woman and child from birth to death. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) does some good things, but it falls far too short. H.R. 676 would IMPROVE and EXPAND Medicare into a much better system for financing our nation’s healthcare. But how many of our elected officials are addicted to the corporate money coming in from the healthcare industry? Is it any wonder that they want to maintain the status quo?

Yes, Jill Stein has long been a leading advocate for single-payer national health care, which is what she means by single-payer Medicare for all.

I am a supporter of H.R. 676 which is a single-payer national healthcare financing method. Is this something that you support? I was not clear what your concept of a “national healthcare standard” is.

Dear Jack – Jill Stein is a strong supporter of Move to Amend, and will be taking part next week in Occupy the Courts at the U.S. Supreme Court building. You have your candidate!

Dr. Stein: I will take your candidacy more seriously when your major focus is on campaign finance reform, for until that is changed, nothing else will change. People are certainly voicing more anger, but standing up against the Status Quo, the Monied Elite is not going to happen effectively until the Monied Elite can no longer buy the minds of the ignorant through corporation-based efforts like Fox News and slur ads on major tv sites. Unfortunately, as studies have shown, most voters are not thinkers and as long as the Corporations, Monied Elite, and Bought Politicians are buying their minds, your message – which, by the way, I believe to be a good one – will not be heard. I refer you to Buddy Roemer, a member of one of the Controlling Parties who disagrees with his colleagues and is fighting for campaign financing reform; so far, this guy has not even been allowed in the debates! I encourage you to join with Lawrence Lessig (REPUBLIC, LOST), Dylan Ratigan, and others who are pressing for a constitutional change. Until that is accomplished, I am afraid you are screaming into the wind.
