Diane, you rock! Keep up the good work!

Hi there,
Have a VERY informative Lyme brochure that I wrote with the help of 2 Lyme specialists. Will email to anyone.

thank you! I have lived with Lyme (neuroborreliosis) for the last 4 1/2 yrs. I was infected in Europe and did not receive treatment for 6 months.. Your time and efforts are commendable, again thank you!

fader is an ass. he told my son it was all in his head and sent us to a shrink. that shrink told us to find a better doctor

Obama will fix this? Right. Dennis Kucinich was the only one with a specific universal healthcare plan. The Camp A and Camp B debate here means very little to a poor person like me. Either way, we’re unable to access care. Post-Lyme syndrome: antibiotic induced Lupus?

I love Kucinich. Unfortunately, the media didn’t, probably because he posed too big a threat to the corporate order. But if you’re talking Obama versus McSame on health care, Obama may not be as big a change as we wish for, but he’s a major change over the failed policies of the last 8 years — policies that McSame pledges to continue.

I was impressed that Obama recognized the failure of insurers to care for people who DO have insurance in his speech tonight.

Those people with insurance have suffered terrible neglect. Maybe once Obama makes sure they get their coverage, all that extra money can be used for single occupancy housing for the homeless so cities like mine (Bellingham, WA) don’t have to pass local sales taxes for mental health services. Homelessness…tick bite…Lyme disease…neuro-psychiatric…Haldol?

The government needs an engaged citezenry to combat the corporatism that dominates our society. That is where Barack Obama comes in. If it’s possible to move to single payer in the near future, he’ll do it. Major changes are usually done in steps. ” Most people overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in ten years.” Tony Robbins

Barack Obama and “major changes are usually done in steps”: The majority of Americans want universal healthcare. Why then steps? Obama serves the elite. Drive around your nearest wealthy neighborhood and see all the Obama signs out front on the spacious lawns. He has no intention of change. Sarah Palin is “pro-life” yet opposes universal healthcare. There is little hope for poor people in America. Either way this one goes, the cry of the poor will continue to be ignored.

Universal Healthcare is done in steps because Republicans operate a massive propaganda machine. If Barack just comes out for Universal Healthcare, they scream “SOCIALIST, COMMUNIST et cetera” and huge swaths of the public fall for it. Also, there are a large amount of people employed by the healthcare industry and what happens to all those people when you switch to single payer? You also have to overhaul the government and I’m sure it is much more complicated,but I’m for it.
