Everyone needs single-payer insurance

My family and I benefit greatly from a single-payer system, Tricare for military families. It is the reason I am never worried about my two kids, who have chronic asthma.

Rep. Rob Wittman showed his true colors when he voted against H.R. 3962. This bill is necessary to help American families struggling with the rising cost of health care.

I have relatives who are drowning in the cost of cancer care because they are not as fortunate as military families to have a single-payer system. Although this bill likely will not be a single-payer system, it will help put the brakes on bankrupting families because of medical bills.
