How should we respond to healthcare "reform" which eliminates public option?

1. And the White House, which is supposedly being "tight-lipped" about its preferences. WHY? What bully

pulpit?

2. By yelling and screaming about it

That's what I'm doing. No way do I want to be forced to buy private insurance. I work in a doctor's office and I know what a LOUSY job they do in paying for treatments. One of the biggest companies won't pay for a food antibody test even when the patient has been diagnosed with Celiac disease, which is gluten intolerance which you can only verify by a food antibody test!

3. Drop private insurance en masse.

It would acquire assumption of risk though which Americans are adverse to.

4. Remind these anti-single-payer corporatists that ...

... the President said he wants ideas from all sides. By ignoring this option as undoable without even so much as debating it honestly, the only conclusion is that corportists are clairvoyant.

All options on the table; either we want to solve this problem or we don't.
