You should. If nothing else, they have things you can do to contact your senators. Just write, and protest and get the message out. For real.
The only thing I can do is just dispel the LIES the GOP is telling about healthcare in the EU. I remember when the queue for hip replacements was so backed up, the NHS had to pay for people to go overseas (to France and Spain) to get them done because their quality of life was deteriorating due to waiting on replacements for so long. The government and the NHS have a duty of care to its citizens, in a way that insurance companies don't. They only have a duty of care to their stockholders, not the people that they are supposed to serve.
Sorry, it's touched a nerve, and I don't think I'll ever stop railing. Tim Wise has a good article on public health care and racism. I swear, people are showing me their asses. True fax.
