As the White House was unveiling it’s insurance industry-friendly Obamacare plan this morning, workers were unfurling a different message on a billboard in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia.

“What Would Jesus Do?” the billboard asks.

“Start Over. Single Payer. Health Care for All. Everybody in. Nobody Out.”

The billboard is sponsored by Single Payer Action.

The billboard was put up this morning on US 522 just a few miles south of Berkeley Springs, West Virginia.

It’s the first of many scheduled to go up in the second congressional district of West Virginia – home to Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito (R-West Virginia).

“Capito and the Republicans continue to put the interests of the big insurance corporations over the well being of the American people,” said Russell Mokhiber of Single Payer Action.

“But Obama and the Democrats have also caved to the insurance industry,” Mokhiber said. “We need to start from scratch and pass what the majority of doctors, nurses and the American people want – single payer national health insurance. Everybody in. Nobody out.”

Dr. Margaret Flowers of Physicians for a National Health Program was also critical of Obama’s newly released plan.

“It is a convoluted attempt to patch up a dysfunctional situation by throwing more money and regulation at it while avoiding the fundamental problems that brought our nation to this place,” Flowers told Single Payer Action.

“The President’s plan takes the worst legislation – the Senate bill – and attempts to improve it through reconciliation. However, there is no way to take this legislation and turn it into what the people in America need – a guaranteed universal health system which is financially sustainable. The only way to acomplish that is by replacing the Senate bill with an improved and expanded Medicare for All national health system.”

“The President has specified four goals for health legislation,” Flowers said. “These goals are based on false premises of for-profit health insurance. People need health care, not health insurance. Using a market-based private health insurance approach to paying for health care is the most wasteful, discriminatory and inhumane policy. Only Medicare for All will meet the President’s goals.”
