    FIX THE CURRENT BROKEN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM NOW. TOO MANY PEOPLE DON’T HAVE APPROPRIATE COVERAGE INCLUDING MEDICARE RECIPIENTS. TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE MISSING COVERAGES. TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE PAYING FOR NOTHING. TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE PAYING FOR MISSING SERVICES.

    Greetings,

    My name is Barbara O’ Brien and my blogging at The Mahablog, Crooks and Liars, AlterNet, and elsewhere on the progressive political and health blogophere has earned me the notoriety of being a panelist at the Yearly Kos Convention and a featured guest blogger at the Take Back America Conference in Washington, DC.

    I’m contacting you because I found your site in a health reform blog search and want to tell you about my newest blogging platform —the public concern of health care and its reform. Our shared concerns include health reform, tort reform, public health, safe workplaces, and asbestos contamination.

    To increase awareness on these important issues, my goal is to get a resource link on your site or even allow me to provide a guest posting. Please contact me back, I hope to hear from you soon. Drop by our site http://www.maacenter.org in the meantime.

    Thanks,

    Barbara O’ Brien
