Guaranteed Healthcare

This is testimony I gave to the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives to persuade politicians to pass HB 1660 and SB 300 here in the Commonwealth.

Today is October 28th, 2008, and I am Kate Loving Shenk.

I am going to start something new called "The Commentaries of Kate Loving Shenk."

Last Thursday, September 18, 2008, Progressives For
Pennsylvania held our
second forum on the health care crisis in
Pennsylvania. This time, the focus
was on passing Pennsylvania's
HB 1660 and SB 300, both of which would
provide health care to all
Pennsylvanians in a Medicare model of health care
delivery.

This delivery system is publicly funded and privately
delivered, and
includes the free choice of physicians.

I certainly have nothing against socialized medicine, but
just to say, our
bill does not fall under that category, which
is publicly funded and publicly
delivered.
