What we are witnessing today is a complete and catastrophic failure of the health insurance market to deliver much needed care to low and middle income families. We need to restore dignity and affordability to this broken system. That’s why I’m calling for the establishment of a single-payer health care program in Minnesota—and if elected, I will fight, tooth and nail, to make it happen.
The man does not equivocate. He is no blue dog with fleas, misappropriating Wellstone Green. He earns use of the WELLSTONE GREEN color. He deserves its use. He honors it.
The campaign site is just started, here; the blog also, here.
The address is: 1816 3rd Avenue, Anoka MN, 55303
Now that you have the address - Send him a contribution.
He needs money to run. He needs money to win.
He is running against an entrenched generally well-liked incumbent, Jim Abeler, who WILL BE the November GOP candidate (once a minor mediocre impediment named Huizinga is removed from the GOP path in the soon-to-be-held primary).
It will then be Boho vs. Abeler. Boho has vision.
Abeler has incumbency. He is a strong candidate with a long record in office.
This is an early endorsement. A slam-dunk easy call. Andrew Boho needs support so please please provide it. Give him your cash and your vote. Send him and his healthcare commitment to the legislature. The more like him there are, the sooner the broken system gets fixed.
The above quote is taken from Andrew Boho's campaign blog. Here's the screen shot, click to enlarge. But save the campaign site and blog links as bookmarks to keep up with his progress.
We need a person who makes healthcare the number one issue it really is. We need someone with the courage to say not only change it, but change it all the way to where we join the progressive nations of Europe and north of our border. They are already where we should have been years ago. Where Paul Wellstone would have wanted us as a nation to be, had he lived. There is the war, energy, other things. But fix healthcare. Lessen the profiteering, increase the quality of the product. Make coverage universal, every man, woman and child within the borders should be covered. Without exception. With payment for the coverage system to come from general revenue funds. We can afford it. We need the strength to toss out the special interests and to insist on such a moral and proper priority.
Abeler should have been doing this kind of thing all those years he was in office. He should have been pushing for that level of decency and coverage. Abeler was remiss, that way. Whether achievable or not, reform never will happen without everyone thinking the issue is the single most important key issue, and courageously saying so, as Andrew Boho has done. And voting for the candidates with the courage to unequivocally say it, and promise to fight to do it. Anything less is more of the same. We don't need any more of more of the same. We've had enough of it, it's failed us and it's due for replacement.
HEALTHCARE IS A RIGHT. UNRECOGNIZED AS SUCH AT PRESENT, BUT ULTIMATELY HAVING TO BE ACCORDED THAT STATUS, OR WE AS A NATION SINK TO INDECENCY. WE DESERVE AND NEED AN ULTIMATE SINGLE-PAYER GENERAL COVERAGE SYSTEM, NATIONWIDE EVENTUALLY, BUT STARTED ON THE RIGHT PATH IN MINNESOTA IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES. ANYONE OPPOSING THAT IS A ROADBLOCK TO PROGRESS AND OPPOSED TO DECENCY, AND AS SUCH ALL THE OPPONENTS ARE SHAMEFUL, SMALL, MEANHEARTED PERSONS.
VOTE BOHO.
