That Beats All

Not everyone agrees on a public option, but it should be there. A public option the people can buy in to at cost, to have basic medical services.

I support a public option; I think everyone is entitled to medical coverage and no one should ever go bankrupt over medical coverage, or how they’re going to care for a loved one based on what’s in their wallet.

I can’t believe there are people out there who are fighting to keep health care from other people; putting a price on their lives basically.

Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), co-chair of the progressive caucus, is making good on her promise to continue pushing for a public health insurance option after the enactment of sweeping reform legislation.

On Thursday afternoon, the Northern California congresswoman will announce the introduction of a bill offering consumers a choice between private plans and a "robust" public plan in the health insurance exchanges set up by the law.

"The robust public option offers lower-cost competition to private insurance companies," Woolsey told Raw Story. "This will make insurance more affordable for those who do not have it and keep insurance affordable for those who do. We are introducing the public option now so is will be available as a ready-made off set or deficit reducer in this or the next Congress."
