Don't let insurance companies dictate reform!

The industry knows the same thing we do, and they don't like it: the only way to make reform work for patients and payers is to allow the option of a public insurance plan. Obama has committed to that in the past, but insurance companies are trying to talk him out of his pledge with these promises to cut some unspecified costs, some years in the future. We need to have OUR say about that.

While we couldn't get into that room with the health industry lobbyists, we DO have access to the most widely-read public forum: the local newspaper.

Use this tool from our friend's at TrueMajority.org to write a letter to your local paper that reminds Congress and the President that health care reform needs to work for us, and demand a public option.
