Yesterday Richard Bernstein launched a new campaign against Mike Cox's lawsuit on health care reform:
Immediately after Obama signed the historic health care reform bill providing coverage for thirty-two million Americans, Michigan's Mike Cox joined twelve other Attorneys General in a lawsuit to block the new law in the courts.
A careful review of the U.S. Constitution and long-standing Constitutional precedents reveals there is no legal basis to join the Florida lawsuit. I object to Mike Cox's obstruction of real progress for working families.
Sign my petition today to urge Mike Cox and the other Attorneys General to drop their lawsuit against the historic health care reform bill and put the people ahead of politics. Enough is enough!
Check it out: the petition has dozens and dozens of comments now like:
I'm a nurse and paramedic. The people of this country need and deserve health care. Health care in this country is going to cost everyone more later, if we don't do something to get the uninsured medical coverage now. He's wasting our tax dollars blocking something we have to have now.
I am unemployed and will lose COBRA in the next few months. I have no idea when or if I will find a job that provides health insurance. I have pre-existing conditions and cannot afford to purchase an individual policy. To try to exempt Michigan from Health Insurance Reform is to deprive many thousands of people from adequate health care. You may even be responsible for the deaths of some of us if we cannot get the care we need. Do not play politics with my life.
This lawsuit is ludicrous and totally wastes the financial resources of our State. The middle class citizens of Michigan will benefit from the health care bill, it is not fair to expect them to pay for grandstanding by this office purely for your political purposes.
As a social work student, I have worked with many who have been victim to the pharmaceutical and insurance companies. This plan will give many the opportunity to receive the health care they need. It will also save Americans money. Your lawsuit only serves to prove to all those who have no faith in our government that you are a bunch of in-fighting children. Let the lawsuit go. You don't want to be remembered as the people who denied millions health care. |
