ProtestHealthCare.org is a
grassroots organization that was founded in July 2007
by Katie Glantz, who is a longtime resident of Dallas,
Texas. Inspired and angered by the Michael Moore film,
SiCKO, she decided to ignite a movement for change. She
feels it is time to reorganize and reform our healthcare
system so it benefits ALL American citizens.
Why not? What better time to ask for
change than now? We have waited long enough for our congressmen
to fight for change. We have been promised on many occasions
there would be reform to our healthcare system and nothing
has been done about it. Representatives of our government
continue to gain financial wealth due to insurance and
pharmaceutical companies while healthcare costs continue
to spiral out of control. If we don’t stand up now,
who will?
No. Just
trying to make a difference by helping the general public
gain access to resources and information about how we
can change our healthcare system in America.
We encourage every visitor to sign the petition and to
raise awareness by fowarding our web site link to friends
and family. All printed materials, including this web
site, are funded and operated by Katie Glantz.
We support a Single-Payer
National Health Insurance. We endorse H.R.
676.
1.
Write to your state congressmen by emailing our letter
for change.
2. Sign
the petition.
3. Pass out flyers
and get the word out.
4. Show your support by placing our logo on your web site.
5. Attend a protest or healthcare event.

SEEKING TWITTER SUPPORTERS FOR
HEALTHCARE REFORM
Don’t Get Sick. Get Involved. Healthcare should
not be a privilege. It should be a right.
DALLAS, TEXAS – August 18, 2009
– ProtestHealthcare.org, a grassroots organization
founded by Katie Glantz, announced they are seeking Twitter
Supporters in order to further ignite interest and encourage
state representatives to take a stand for the people by
endorsing H.R. 676 (the U.S. National Health Insurance
Act) – a single-payer, universal healthcare system
which would expand a greatly improved Medicare system
to every American living in the United States.
ProtestHealthcare.org was launched just one day after
the founder was inspired and angered by the Michael Moore
film, SiCKO, and received over 4,000 visitors to the Web
site during the first 24 hours. They have partnered with
several nationally recognized health-related organizations,
which include National
Nurses Organizing Committee and The
DFW Metro Committee; Physicians
for National Health Program; California
Nurses Associations; Jobs
with Justice; Texas
Alliance for Retired Americans; and Healthcare-NOW.
“We couldn’t
believe the volume of e-mails, phone calls and support
we have received from all over the United States and around
the world. When we first launched our Web site in July
2007, we thought we’d be lucky to get 25 petitions
signed,” said Katie Glantz. “We are just ordinary
people who wanted to do something. To our surprise, there
were thousands of families who want our healthcare system
to change and wanted it changed now!”
ProtestHealthcare.org’s belief is that every citizen
should have an equal opportunity to healthcare, without
the limitations of pre-existing conditions or financial
gain by insurance and pharmaceutical companies. The organization’s
goal is to end selective healthcare so that Americans
will never be denied coverage based on previous medical
conditions or on their financial status. They aim to increase
awareness of this problem via their Web site and now –
Twitter – so that every American can gain access
to the latest information, and, one day, have universal
healthcare.
ProtestHealthcare.org endorses H.R. 676, which gives citizens
access to affordable quality healthcare – including
doctor visits, hospital care, prescriptions, mental health
services, nursing home care, rehab, home care, eye care,
and dental care. Eddie Bernice Johnson (TX-30), Shelia
Jackson-Lee (TX-18), and Al Green (TX-9) are the only
three representatives in Texas who have endorsed H.R.
676.
The organization has published a Web site, where visitors
are encouraged to get involved by downloading a letter
to send to their Congressmen, access resources about the
healthcare industry, and sign a petition. For the latest
healthcare news and more, please visit www.protesthealthcare.org
