Thinking About The Public Option In Health Care Reform

The public option in the debate on health care reform is the most crucial part of health care reform as a viable alternative to the private insurance companies. I can't support health care reform without the inclusion of the public option. If the public option were left out of health care reform, then I'd work as hard as I could to oppose that health care reform since it'd just be mandated junk insurance bills for all of us.

It's the line in the sand for me. I can't tolerate being mandated to have health care coverage without the public option to turn to. We must also press to have health care reform legislation introduced from the House side and to be included in the budget reconciliation as it'd be a much better product than what Senator Baucus and Grassley are planning to cook up in the Senate side. It's the line in the sand for me. Is the public option the line in the sand for you as well?
