Credit Gov. Eliot Spitzer for getting some of the biggest political stars in the nation to team up with him in is battle against the Bush administration’s new SCHIP policy.
A day after he penned a letter with California Gov. Eliot Spitzer urging President Bush to abandon the new policy — which would likely derail efforts by New York and other states to expand their federally subsidized health care programs for children — Spitzer held a press conference in Manhattan this morning with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to do the same.
“We should not punish children and their families who need healthcare coverage, but that is exactly what the President is proposing,” Clinton said in a press release e-mailed by Spitzer’s office. “The President’s policy would undermine efforts to provide healthcare for uninsured children and New York will be especially hard hit if the President’s plan to scale back CHIP is not reversed.”
Clinton has been a longtime advocate of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. The first press conference she held after announcing her plans to run for president in January was about renewing and expanding the program.
Today’s press conference follows one held yesterday by Rep. Nita Lowey, D-Harrison, who vowed to rally New York’s congressional delegation against the change. On Monday, Spitzer appeared with Rep. Charles Rangel, a Harlem Democrat, to denounce the change.

Hillary and most Democrats are REALLY wearing out that “It’s for the children” line. What was she doing when her husband was president for eight years?
Oh, that’s right. Making a complete mess of her supposed health care plan.
And being caught up in other shenanigans involving the Rose Law Firm, the White House Travel Office, and on and on.
I have given it some thought and it seems that the only way to make congress move quickly on tax supported national health care for all is to demand aggressive endorsement and passage of John Conyers Bill HR 676. Medicare for all. All of you need to get on the phones , the email, and every other way possible. Get your friends, and family to help also. This is not a Democratic, or Republican issue. Its an American issue that effects everyone. Demand, and harass your representatives. Federal, State, and local. Demand unequivocal endorsement, and support of HR 676 Medicare for all. And if they drag their feet, or fail to quickly support this bill. Tell them you will do every thing in your power to see they don’t get reelected if they don’t. No excuses about we cant afford it. Many knowledgeable reputable experts have clearly shown numerous ways we can easily afford it. We already spend more on health care than any other country in the world. We cant afford not to have National Health Care for all. Look at www.sickocure.org
American Citizens are ask to step forward for the American people, and National health care for all. And target, and run against every politician that does not sign on to aggressive endorsement, and passage of John Conyers Bill HR 676. On a platform of National health care for all, Now! Each representative will be given a DEADline by which to respond in writing. Those that do not respond. Or that do not endorse immediate passage of this bill with full veto override if needed will be targeted for removal.
This can be done people. This is your duty. Hopefully you wont have to run, or serve. But you must be willing to do so. If you have to. It’s time for the real American patriots to step forward. America, and your fellow citizens need you. The old people. The young people. The children. The babies all need you. You must start now. You must be aggressive, and relentless. You must not tire. You must take good care of your-selves so you can fight tough. Millions of life’s are at steak. The time is now. You must not fail people. Some of you who have been wiped out by illness, and medical bills. You can do this. If you get elected to the house, or senate you’ll have good health care coverage. BY GOD!!!! Actors, artist, every day people. Mother’s, Fathers. Young people. You can do this.
Don’t be distracted. There are paid teams out their that will try to distract you from this. Don’t let them. Don’t let world events, or new tragedy’s at home distract you. Health Care is the #1 concern of the American people. Flood the media over the weeks and months till passage of National Health care. Make sure every discussion, and argument is about National health care. You can do this America. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
And be strategic. If you have to run and another candidate looks like he or she will have a better chance of a win than you. And if they support non-profit, tax supported, single payer, National Health Insurance. Then drop out at the right time. And throw your whole hearted support to them. On the other hand. If you had to run because the politician in power failed to support passage of HR 676. Then do every thing in your power to win, and to see that they don’t get reelected. Even if several of you have to run to take him out. Remember this is not a democratic, or republican issue. It’s an American issue. We don’t really wont their job. We just want good National Health care for all Americans. Be tough. Be brutal if need be.
To our friends around the world. We welcome your help, and advise. Don’t be offended by the people that lash out at you. Or tell you to mind your own business. They don’t really speak for most Americans. We, America is a part of all of you. We need your help, and advice. And we appreciate any input you have to help us solve our health care crises.
Love…
It’s alarming. Americans are being poisoned, raped, crippled, mutilated, and killed at an alarming rate with pharmaceutical poisons. And injured with medical devices. Along with ranking #37 in the world in quality of health care. Life expectancy continues to drop dramatically. Americans rank 42nd in life expectancy. Down over 300% in just two decades of pharmaceutical poisoning, and medical device injury’s. Infant death rates in America equal to a third world country. Childhood illness, and death rates skyrocketing. And childhood life expectancy plummeting down faster than their parents precipitous decline.
People have to understand that all prescription pharmaceuticals are first, and foremost poisons. And potentially highly toxic. This is supposed to be the reason that the FDA makes them prescription only. So that you will have highly trained medical supervision to keep you from being injured by these poisonous toxic effects while you use them. Unfortunately most US doctors have completely abandoned this critical responsibility. And instead continue to push highly toxic, less proven poisonous pharmaceuticals on unsuspecting patients for greed, and profit.
No patient should be denied safe and effective relief of their pain and suffering. Nor denied access to the best drugs, and medical technology available to relive suffering. And aid healing. But many doctors use this legitimate need of a few patients. To justify poisoning millions of other patients with no legitimate need for such toxic, and expensive poisons.
All of this horror, and nightmare is happening in the RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. And supposedly the most developed country in the world. AMERICA!!!! THE UNITED STATES!!!
A country that spends more on health care than any other country in the world. But has 45-60 million Americans with no health care.
A country that has 18000 people a year die!! because of a lack of health care. Millions raped, mutilated, crippled, and injured for greed, and profit!!!!!!!
A country that calls it’s self the most Christian in the world!!!
A country that makes up less than 2-4% of the world population. But purchases, and consumes approx 50% of all pharmaceuticals world wide!!!!!!!!!
A country where medical bills are the #1 reason for bankruptcy’s, and financial destruction. Most of whom had health insurance.!!!!!
A country that has approx 6000 women die yearly from complications of pregnancy. And millions more are injured, and mutilated for life without medical necessity. Just for profit.
A country where Millions of emotionally, and mentally ill Americans are poisoned with toxic cocktails of pharmaceutical poisons for profit.
A country with a skyrocketing rate of death, and injury from accidents like falling, tripping, and other accidents by patients impaired on legal pharmaceutical poisons.
A country where children are given NEW less proven pharmaceutical poisons that relive their asthma symptoms. But that damage their lungs at the same time. Assuring that these children will never outgrow there childhood asthma like most children do. Dramatically increasing the asthma death rate in children, and adults. And trapping them in drug therapy for the rest of their life.
A country that has corrupted medical practice guidelines. Because of sellouts by doctors to pharmaceutical companies to push drugs, and medical devices. Rather than doing what unbiased, open, transparent medical science, and well documented scholarly clinical experience indicates is best for an individual patient.
A country that threatens, intimidates, and sues health care professionals who exercise their professional responsibility by speaking out against drugs, devices, and medical procedures they believe may be harmful to patients, and the public. I could go on. And on… And there is even worse going on. Flying under the radar. That I cant go into now. That must be stopped.
America! What have! we become. Have we no SHAME!!!!!
SHAME!!!!! SHAME!!!! SHAME!!!!
You are all in this together. Whether you have the finest full coverage health insurance. Or no insurance at all. Whether you are the President of The United States, senator, or congressman. Or a premature infant in some inner city icu struggling for your life. Your medical care has been severely compromised by greed, and the profit motive. And in medicine, compromised care means injury, disability, and DEATH. All because the very core of American Medical health care has been compromised through the medical practice guidelines.
Guidelines that should be based purely on unbiased, open, transparent medical science. And open, unbiased, transparent, well documented, scholarly, scientific, clinical experience. All focused solely on the very best interest of individual patients. And tempered with the ancient wisdom, and warnings of Hippocrates, “To Above All. Do No Harm”. Only non-profit, tax supported, single payer, National Health Insurance can fix this disgrace.
The moment of truth has arrived. Save your-self. And save America along with your-self. Act as if your life, and the life of your loved ones depends on it. BECAUSE IT DOES!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
YOU CAN DO THIS AMERICA!
Love…
