Also, FireDogLake has an online petition pressuring Congress to stay in session until they get a health care bill. The e-mail they sent me had these frightening statisitcs:
There is a real human cost for going on vacation. Three weeks in America without health care means:
- 143,250 people will lose their health insurance coverage
- 53,507 people will file for bankruptcy because they can't pay their medical bills
- 1,265 people will die because they lack coverage
The House is so close to passing a health reform bill - they should not go on vacation now when thousands are losing their health care or worse every day.
