HR 676 is the single-payer initiative, which will go to a floor vote when Congress comes back. As we've noted earlier, 676 is the sane alternative to the Obama/Baucus plan.
Write to your congress-critter and make it short and un-sweet:
676 OR QUIT!
If you don't vote for HR 676, I'll vote for your opponent -- even if you're running against Jack the Ripper. In fact, I'll send money to Jack's campaign.

Without an honest dialogue, this is an example of a mercy F**k for those of us that truly care about healthcare reform. We have to do better than this ... without a real vote, it's just symbolic and it's meaningless!
Somehow, we need a real discussion on health care reform. We need to get passed the scare tactics and the rhetoric.
I don't want a mercy F**k and neither should you!
DK, you have no idea how difficult it is to avoid the temptation to turn your last line into a gag.
I have wondered so much what we can do.
If only we could talk Republican legislators, as well as liberal Democrats into voting for HR 676! Then it might pass and President Obama would have to sign it or veto it. Interesting, huh?
Actually, for the Republicans, as well as liberal Democrats, that would be a very smart strategy.
