Rep. Weiner's single payer amendment will be introduced Monday

On Monday, Rep. Anthony Weiner will move to amend the Tri-Committee health care reform bill to essentially replace it with HR 676, thereby replacing the private health insurance industry with a single-payer national health insurance program.

The vote on the amendment will take place the same day it is offered -- Monday.

Hopefully you have responded to earlier alerts or postings and called your Representative if he or she sits on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, or contacted the Committee chair, Rep. Henry Waxman, in support of the Weiner amendment. If not, please call early Monday morning or send a free efax through www.1payer.net. Messages are editable and can go to your own representative so he or she can see that single payer has district support. Here's the url: http://www.1payer.net/faxapp/senders/add/cid:22
