Stand up for public health care options

I’m a huge fan of single payer universal health care, and I am also strongly supporting the proposal for the MN Health Plan (which doesn’t quite go that far). But if even these two are too much for you, please consider signing this petition asking that there be at least a public option in whatever plan President Obama and Congress work on. As the petition notes: “We support healthcare reform that allows individual Americans to choose either a universally available public healthcare option like Medicare or for-profit private insurance. A public option is the only way to guarantee healthcare for all Americans and its inclusion is non- negotiable.”
