Show your support for Single Payer Universal Health Care
Health Insurance makes us sick. Our pithy tease, er tees, are fighting for something better. $1 per t-shirt or sticker you buy goes toward passing HR 676 or SB 840, legislation for single-payer universal health care.These bills cut out the for-profit insurance companies, so that doctors can give the care they choose and patients can get the care they need.
 A sample from our line of pithy shirts
The recent analysis of California measure ABX11 -- put forward by Governor Schwarzenegger and his minion Speaker Fabian Nunez-- showed that the "universal health care" recommended by large insurance conglomerates

does nothing more than increase their profits while forcing you to buy insurance, or risk losing your home and wages. The single-payer health care plans HR 676 and SB 840 are far more practical economically.
Similarly, the current presidential candidates offer nothing better, which is why the same major corporations are supporting the leading Democrats *and* Republicans.
We are very sorry to report, for those who have not heard yet, that the most progressive presidential candidate, Dennis Kucinich, has had to withdraw from the race. However, his tenacity in the campaign was not without a valuable outcome. In as much as Dennis drew attention to the corporate stranglehold on healthcare and freedom of speech, he has done his job. We still support the bill he co-authored, HR 676.

So help us in our fight to make Health Care an inalienable right. We are up against paper entities, corporations, with far more resources and legal rights than those of flesh and blood. And yet, they are gaining rights, where we are losing ours.
$1 from every t-shirt or bumper sticker we sell will be given to either -
www.HealthCareForAll.org supporting SB 840 or to
www.PNHP.org supporting HR 676. You choose.

We implore you to read what we have to say about Single Payer health care, read what others say about it, read the bills in question (find the .PDF's on our Act Now page) and talk to as many people as you can about the topic. You will be amazed at how many people do talk about something as prosaic as health care, and you will come to know just how important this issue is.
Do not be swayed into voting for a plan or scheme that simply proclaims to be "Universal Health Care" without reading the fine print. We've have read them, and there is no longer a candidate running who has ahealth care leg to stand on.
