Demand the Public Option!

Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: Mike Capuano for U.S. Senate
We can't waver now. As the House and Senate are gearing up for a vote on our health care overhaul, we need to let our elected officials know: Any bill MUST include a public option -- with no trigger.

We must end the troubling disparities in access to care and health outcomes between insured and uninsured Americans as Congress continues working to reform our nation's health care system. And the best way to do that is with a bill with a strong public option.

Health care reform must achieve universal access. Tell your senators that you demand a public option!

Dear Senator [Name],

I am wholeheartedly in support of a strong public option, and as your constituent, I ask that you vote for a health care bill that contains a public option.

Such compromises like the "trigger" plan are not acceptable, as they will not provide universal access in the manner that our American people so desperately need. We must end the troubling disparities in access to care and health outcomes between insured and uninsured Americans as Congress continues working to reform our nation's health care system. And the best way to do that is with a bill with a strong public option.

Thank you for your support of a strong public option.

Sincerely,
[Your name here]
We took action on “Demand the Public Option!”!

The American people has waited long enough for this health care bill. The Canadian system is not broken as the opponents will make us believe. It is a good system. We need a good public option plan. A public option is the only plan that will help the people; we need it.

We need strong healthcare, strong competition, and caps on prices. Stop playing the "Politics Game." The Constitution states that only 51 votes are needed to pass a bill in the Senate. Go for broke and do something NOW!

It is time for all Americans to have access to good medical care. It is inhuman for people to suffer for the lack of care.
