H. R. 4789 is so simple and makes so much sense that corporate Dems will stumble all over themselves trying to sweep this pesky bill under the rug and pretend it doesn’t exist. This bill is only four pages long and within two days has gained at least 50 co-sponsors as well as more than 25,000 signatures on a mass e-mail petition.
Would you like the option of buying into Medicare at any age, at cost? This bill, if passed, would not require one iota of support from taxpayers. War hawks should be reassured since this bill would not divert a single penny that is currently being used to blow up innocent people on the other side of the globe.
Rep. Grayson eloquently explains this bill on the video that follows…

Since the corporate media will bury this story, we need to notify everyone we know, even those friends, relatives and acquaintances who reside on the other end of the political spectrum. A bill such as this should be politically neutral, at least in a rational world. How could anyone not support a bill allowing any U. S. citizen to buy into Medicare at cost, that is, unless their entire retirement savings is concentrated in a portfolio of health care companies?
This writer is attempting to contact his U. S. Representative, who says he’s a Democrat, but is actually a Demopublican or a Republocrat. My representive would probably be misleadingly referred to as a “Centrist”, which raises the question, if he (and Baucus, Nelson, Lincoln, Bayh, etc.) are Centrists, then who, exactly, are the other Dems who are more further from the left than these turncoats? If truth in advertising regulations were to apply, the term “Centrist” would refer to a so-called Democrat who would philosophically reside at the center of the opposing party.
Conveniently, this Representative’s line is busy, although callers are prompted to leave a voice mail message or send an e-mail. This writer will keep trying to reach someone live on the other end and request a written response to the question as to whether he is willing to become a co-sponsor of this bill and/or whether he would be willing to vote in its favor.
Sorry, this essay is not as well written as it should be, however, it seemed that getting this message out as soon as possible was more important that turning in something an English teacher would find acceptable.
