Can't stress it enough

Call our representatives and tell them we want a public option. Our representatives have a choice in their healthcare. If our insurance industry is so good, why do they choose a government backed plan? A plan that doesn't cancel them if they have a pre-existing condition? A plan that isn't cancelled if they use it? A plan that doesn't increase premiums by 78 percent? A plan that doesn't deny treatment or specialists because insurance companies feel it's unnecessary (too expensive to pay for)?

Distribute this freely. I left space so you can put your own text on the bottom.
As usual, click on the image to get a full size graphic for redistribution.




Tell Senator [Name] that we DO NOT want the 7-year trigger for the public option and take it off the table, and that we want him to support an affordable strong, robust Medicare-like public option. We NEED a strong, robust Medicare-like public option NOW OPEN TO ALL AMERICANS AND AFFORDABLE, not more of the SAME broken system that's given us unaffordable premiums, little private insurance coverage, and rising co-pays. Also, DON'T TAX OUR EMPLOYER HEALTH BENEFITS. Instead, follow the proposal by President Obama to tax the wealthy above $250,000, eliminate the overpayments in Medicare Advantage, and put tax capital gains to help fund health care reform. TELL OUR SENATORs NO ON THE SCHUMER COMPROMISE AND NO ON THE CONRAD CO-OP COMPROMISE.
