Subject:HR 1384
To the SLO City Council,
I urge you to vote YES on the resolution of support for HR 1384.
The use of private insurance companies in the medical system skims off around 25% of all health care dollars.
Meanwhile these companies add absolutely no value to the medical system. We pay far more than any other
industrialized nation for our health care while our outcomes, by any measure, are abysmal.
I join the American College of Physicians and approximately half of all U.S. doctors in supporting universal
single payer health care: Medicare for all. I urge the SLO City Council to support HR 1384 and allow Mayor
Harmon to join Mayors4Medicare.
Sincerely,
Susan C. Robinson, MD, FACOG
