A Public Option

well, while i would prefer a "single-payer" health plan for this country, that option is off the table. so, a public option is the next best choice, in my opinion. therefore, i took some time today to write my congress people the following

Dear _______:

I would like a public option even though I have private health insurance.

Insurance companies practice something called “rescission” and have refused to change their policy. This does no one any good.

We need health care for all who inhabit our communities in order to keep our communities safe. Like fire departments & police services, health care for all is necessary to protect everyone in society.

Health care in our country is broken.

We need change. We need a public option.

Thank you for your time,

That's all, just simple and to the point. Please, if you support the public option for health care, feel free to cut and paste this note into an email!

special thank you to @dondrennon & @aliceinthewater(twitter pals) for the text & inspiration!
