Dear Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL),

Representative Alan Grayson, you are truly a breath of fresh air in a health care debate that frankly stinks

Our group United for Healthcare Justice with members from Contra Costa, Alameda & San Francisco counties in California voted unanimously to send you this letter of support for your courageous stand in publicly calling the Republican Party's obstruction of health care reform for what it really is

"The Republican health care plan is “don’t get sick,” and if you do get sick, “die quickly.”

We further applaud you for refusing to apologize to Republicans even under relentless pressure from the Republican Party and corporate controlled media.

You were super in your response to this frantic conservative hysteria and attacks on you by instead issuing a very sincere apology to those who have suffered from the current corporate insurance controlled health care system

“I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven’t voted sooner,”

We hope your words and actions will help give President Obama and Democratic members of Congress more backbone in standing up to those corporate media amplified voices who 'promote corporate profit over universal affordable health care'. We believe Americans are fed up with the current health care system in America

In closing, we hope that you will also seriously look into Single Payer Health Care that can be found in Rep. John Conyers' bill 'Medicare for All' HR676 which we believe is the only health care plan that will really solve the health care crisis in America today and can be implemented very rapidly! Americans long for a health care system that is always there for them routinely and in an emergency regardless of income and employment status! As long as the for profit corporate insurance companies are included in America's health care system we will never have affordable universal health care for everyone. Single Payer could use a person with your outspoken courage to call out the truth loud and clear

Sincerely in health with justice,
on behalf of United for Healthcare Justice

Michael E. Kerr
