A health care bill was presented in Congress that would improve our access to medical care. I sent this letter to Representative Latta and encourage you to do the same:
“Honorable Congressman Latta,
A few years ago a friend developed a very serious brain condition. She needed a specialist and took the time to find a doctor in her network. This specialist told her to get an ultrasound before the operation and sent her down the hallway to get the test. My friend later learned that the person she was sent to was NOT in her network, so she was hit with a large bill for this service. This problem would not exist if we had a single payer system because EVERY doctor would be in the network.
When a parent is faced with a life-threatening illness, he or she needs to focus on how to protect the children’s future, not searching the internet to find a doctor the insurance company will approve. Please support HR 676 and give us a single-payer health care system to simplify the process of finding a doctor. This will also reduce the cost of health care administration.”
Please encourage your congressmen to support this bill.
Thank you,
Debbie Dalke
