Strong public option or nothing
I just called the White House comment line at:
1-202-456-1111 and conveyed that I prefer a single-payer health insurance plan and that President Obama should at the least draw a line in the sand that there be a strong public choice option which would allow people or employers to buy into Medicare.

I attended President Obama's campaign rally in Dublin at which he railed against the health insurance industry with very harsh rhetoric. Change was promised.

President Obama won in a landslide and must deliver. Polls show that the public is behind a public option. Without it in a bill, President Obama and the Dems can forget about me donating next election season or going door to door again.

Senator Bernie Sanders has said that no bill is better than a bill without a strong public choice option. Bernie is our best advocate in Congress.
