https://madashelldoctorstour.com/Letter_to_Obama.html"Dear Mr. President:
This September, as the healthcare debate rages in Congress, our core group of six doctors from Oregon will be embarking on an historic road trip across America. We will be conducting town halls in twenty-six cities as we make our way to Washington, D.C. Our mission is to educate our fellow citizens as to why a single payer health care system is the only means to lasting, substantive health care reform for this country.
All told, our group has 191 years of combined, real-world medical experience, much of it spent working in a system that serves neither patients nor their doctors.
As physicians who have sworn an oath to behave in accord with the highest possible ethical, medical standards, we have all reached the same conclusion: it is our professional obligation to speak out against a for-profit system of health care that is fatally compromising the health and well being of our patients, their families and our nation.We will be in Washington D.C. on the morning of Oct. 1 and it would be a distinct honor if you would meet with our modest delegation to discuss the future of health care as well as the moral, social and fiscal imperative of a enacting a single-payer system for America at this moment in our history.

If you support the comment below please fill out the remaining form and press submit. The email message will go directly to President Obama's scheduler, to whom we sent out initial request. Thank you for your support.
Dear Mr. President,
Recently, a group of Oregon physicians calling themselves the "Mad As Hell Doctors" requested a meeting with you to discuss a single payer plan for America. I am writing you to support that request and ask that you please take time from your very busy schedule to meet with these committed doctors. There are many of us who feel that single payer is the only solution to our health care troubles but are finding it impossible to have our voices heard above the rage and rhetoric that is drowning our nation. By taking the time to meet with these Oregon physicians you are meeting with so many millions of us who believe deeply in a single payer solution.
Thank you for considering this request.
With Great Respect
