Letter to President Obama - Begging for Public Health Insurance

Dear President Obama,

Please push for Congress to pass a bill with a government-administered Public Insurance option. People see the Democrats pondering a giveaway to Private Insurance and are begging for a Public Option. If the Democrats falter in providing what the public demands (and which is well within Congress's grasp), then they will be held to account at Primary Election time.

Also, since Republicans are unwilling to vote for any Health Insurance Reform, I strongly suggest that Congress pass Single Payer, government-paid insurance. The private insurers will simply all have to fix their prices to the same dollar amount (for each risk group), and the government pays premiums /co-pays out of the rescinded Bush Tax Cuts. It's easy as pie!

Thanks, and I look forward to many more years as a healthy, well-insured, Democratic Party member.

Signed,
