HEALTHCARE NOT WARFARE
PDAMERICA.ORG
As Martin Luther King Jr. observed forty years ago, “A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” While the insurance and pharmaceutical industries post huge profits, the U.S. health care crisis grows steadily worse. Today, nearly one in six Americans has no health insurance. Tens of millions of others are woefully under-insured. Meanwhile the war in Iraq drains our resources and overburdens our budget. Our government’s duty is to protect us —security begins with our health and well-being at home. In 2008, we have an historic opportunity to turn from warfare to health care for all. We call on the Democratic Party at all levels— in party platforms and resolutions — to commit to redirecting wasteful and unnecessary military spending to meet human needs. This commitment must start with comprehensive, guaranteed health care — driven by the needs of patients and the judgment of doctors. We call on Democrats to support a plan, which eliminates any financial barriers between the patient and health care providers, resulting in a patient not receiving medically necessary care. We call on members of Congress to bring the troops home from Iraq and to pass H.R. 676, Rep. John Conyers’ bill which guarantees comprehensive publicly-funded, privately-delivered health care for everyone in the U.S.
