Wyden Versus Westlund / Federal Versus Oregon / Private Versus Public - The Fundamental Health Care Battles12/18/06

Where You Stand Depends On What You Think

1. My primary interest is to solve: 
A. Oregon's moral and economic health care crisis
B. America's moral and economic health care crisis

2. There is a significantly and arguably greater chance of solving Oregon's moral and economic health care crisis which is to bring affordable health care to Oregonians and Oregon's public institutions by:
A. The Oregon legislature in Salem
B. The national congress in Washington D.C.

3. The profit oriented private health insurance industry which has failed to deliver affordable health care to Oregonians and Oregon's public institutions must not be the model upon which a solution to Oregon's moral and economic health care crisis should be based:
A. - Agree
B. - Disagree

Your answers to these questions will form the foundation for your approach to discussing, debating and finding the solution to Oregon's moral and economic health care crisis which is to bring affordable health care to Oregonians and Oregon's public institutions.

The season to act on your convictions is upon us. Our state legislature and the national congress will soon begin. If your answers were:
1. A - Oregon
2. A - Oregon legislature
3. A - Agree
then please contact our governor, Ted Kulongoski, your state representative and senator and ask them to submit or cosponsor the Oregon Community Health Care Bill under their name or, as a courtesy bill, under yours.
