Thanks to everyone who took the time to make calls or send letters to your elected officials when Senators Schumer and Rockefeller fought for their amendments to include a public option in the Senate Finance Committee’s health care reform bill.

Real change will improve access for everyone, support comprehensive care and foster healthy communities. Real change in health care reform must include a public plan.
And Doctors agree! 63% of physicians support a health reform proposal that includes a public option.
Show your support for real health care reform by signing the petition for a public plan option.
Medicare works because its core values are fair access, care and community. A public health insurance option similar to Medicare in any proposed reform would save almost two TRILLION dollars more than any reform that does not include a public option.
With a public plan option everyone will be better able to access coverage, better able to understand their coverage, and better able to use the coverage they have - at a price taxpayers can afford.
Sign the petition for a public plan option and show your support for real health care reform.
