DIVEST THYSELF!

Do you have a pension fund, mutual fund, an IRA, a 401k? Congratulations, you too own a piece of a Health Insurance Company.

Unless we demand Health Care as a Basic Human Right, the tangled web is in so many of our pockets it will forever keep us trapped. If we remove the risk of a big down slide for all of us and all of the powerful big investors on Wall Street, this strong resistance to Single Payer Universal Health Care and the demise of the Health Insurance Companies will be less of a real financial and practical threat.

Reaching our goal of Universal Health Care under a Single Payer System should not take a huge toll on everyone’s savings, so let’s divest.


There is an easy way to weaken the Health Insurance Companies, even to break them, without withholding our premiums: STOP OWNING THEM.

VOTE WITH YOUR STOCK! 

Make investing in Health Insurance Companies bad karma, like Sierra Leone blood diamonds. Major institutions have turned the tides around the world by refusing to trade in inhumanity - Apartheid was overturned, selling ivory is now illegal in most countries.

Insurance companies and their obscene profits are a major part of all our portfolios, including union’s retirement plans and the pension plans of all our cities and states. 

This explains why none of the other high power corporations, auto makers, Coca Cola, the usually liberal Hollywood studios, just to name a few, and all our Senators, Republican and Democrat and even President Obama, are not demanding single payer. 

Their executives and their unions, their cities and states, their school boards, also own a piece of the Health Insurance pie, strengthening the stranglehold these corporations hold over every aspect of our lives.

Let us all call our banks, our brokers, our pension fund administrators, and tell them to divest our portfolios from any mutual funds that include Health Insurance Company stock. 

Once we're clean, we need to call our employers, unions, school boards, colleges  mayors, governors, and ask them to divest their pensions and investments from all Health Insurance Company stocks.  

Ask your viewers to do the same. Call on the Networks and the Studios to divest. 

Please do this for the rest of us. We need a voice, Please be that voice, because you can.

If a few public figures will make a statement - or a song, or a video - paralleling Health Insurance Stock to blood money, to blood diamonds, to ivory, to Apartheid, few people will want it. We should be guilted and embarrassed out of owning it.

If you know a union leader, your councilman, a newscaster, an actor.... 
Please use them wisely.
