My letter to my representative regarding universal health care follows.

Dear Congressman Marshall:

The purpose of this letter is to urge you to support universal, single-payer health care for all Americans. My wife and I, part of the 50 million Americans who are without health insurance, live every day in fear of illness. After watching Michael Moore's Sicko, it has become clear to us that Americans are the laughingstock of the civilized world for refusing to insist on single-payer, socialized health care. Yes, the insurance industry is an evil, corrupt monolith of which we all live in fear, you included, but we urge you to do the right thing, for the benefit of your own people, and support a single-payer health care system for all Americans. Don't believe the right-wing propaganda about socialized medicine. The system works, and that's why not a single country that has adopted socialized medicine has ever gotten rid of it. The people love it.

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your continued service to our district and the American people.

Sincerely,

Like the OP, I was angry after seeing Sicko, and I had to do something.
