John Russell 2006-2008 Democratic Nominee in Florida's 5th Congressional District, addresses the 2009 Juneteenth Celebration. John Russell is a Nationally Certified Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with an MBA in Health Systems Management. John Russell is both a clinical professional and an expert in health care policy. John recognizes that the ONLY solution to America's Health Care crisis is the implementation of substantial and dramatic change in how we finance our health care system. The status quo corporate dominated health care finance system has neither the motivation or the tools to compare in cost efficiency or patient access for that matter to even the current less than optimal Medicare system. John sees through his clinical activities and associations the escalating state of decline in the integrity of our health care system. As someone who has focused on this issue and how America can resolve the twin issues of controlling cost while also providing comprehensive health care services to ALL Americans, a "Pathway" to a Single Payer Model is our ONLY solution. John points out that the "forces" arrayed against transitioning to a single payer method of financing health care in America are the Lobbyists who are employees of the insurance companies/HMO's, pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers who have become fat and happy in what amounts to a Cost PLUS system of financing with ZERO incentives to cut costs other than to deny care to people in need of care. John describes how as a candidate for Congress in 2006, he was approached and asked to "Sell Out" in return for "Working With and Playing Ball" with the Pharmaceutical Industry. John explains further that Max Baucus, Kemnt Conrad, Bill Nelson and Debbie Stabenow are ALL standing shoulder to shoulder with the insurance companies... "Bought and Paid for" by those same lobbyist checks that John as a candidate turned down.
