If you  missed Keith Olberman's 1 hour Countdown program on health care reform Oct 7, it's something you will want to watch.  You can see it at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/  His bottom line, it's about life and death.
 
Also the NY Times has an opinion today where he suggests taking health care from Congress in the same proportion as US citizens are without health care, so they can learn what it's like and stop blocking a fix.  15% would be uninsured, 8 % underinsured.  http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/08/opinion/08kristof.html?_r=1  His bottom line, 45,000 people die in the US each year for lack of health care insurance.

Don’t go into a long explanation-just tell them in a sentence or two that they can repeat back. The staffers have a chart where they check off what you say-so they have single payer on the chart or public option. They write down your zip code. If you make a special comment,it is written in the margin.  At the end of the day they compile and send it to the Congressperson.
 
Good luck to us all, Judy Leever
