Save the Public Option in Health Care Reform
My message to Senators Franken and Klobuchar:
Senator:
Please don’t give up on the Public Option! Until the health insurance industry gets true competition from a Public Option, that industry will continue to take unfair advantage of those who must use its services.
A well-designed Public Option will cover many who do not have health insurance today. Senator, you and I know why so many americans are not covered: it’s because the health insurance companies are not run as vehicles for keeping people well or healing the sick. Simply put, these companies are vehicles for profit.
The business of America is business, but not at any cost, and certainly not at the expense of any basic human need.
Best Regards,
Chris Wiley

Excellent letter. I wish I’d written it myself.
