Domestic call March 5

We've already completed the most recent action, which is to request $100 million be put in the budget for health care reform. RESULTS was quite disappointed that the White House Summit on Health Care Reform today didn't invite anyone supporting single payer. I wasn't surprised, though. That meeting I went to last summer with Janelle Krishnamoorthy, aide from Senator Harkin's office, pretty much said the same thing. The Senator had been holding hearings with health care providers, insurance companies, patients, all the stakeholders in health care reform. Janelle told us that single payer wasn't going to fly.

I heard back from Clay Jones' office saying neither he nor his Senior Vice President for Human Resources would be able to be a panelist at our public forum April 20. Rockwell has a Board meeting that night. So I'm going to call John Bloomhall from Diamond V Mills to see if he can be there.
