A Strong Public Option

Last night at a Chamber after hours I cornered the "most Republican" member in our group. So much so he has photos in his office of himself along side Bush and Condi Rice. I specifically asked his opinion on the proposed health car reforms. He said: ( approximate quote here as I did not take notes )



"I am blessed to make enough to pay my premiums which are about $2,800 per month but most people can't afford that. Many people don't even earn that each month. We must have a public option for those who don't have the money" he went on to say, "today only those with the money have choice"



Remember these words are from a die-hard REPUBLICAN which proves not all of them have their head in 100 year old sand. Some understand the crisis...it just seems we can't elect any of those to Congress.



We need and want change but those with a financial stake will fight to preserve their profit structure and those people donate to political campaigns. We all ( Dems and Republicans ) have to write our representatives and DEMAND they do what is right for health care, not what is profitable for health insurance companies. Hospitals and Doctors don't care who pays them !
