letter to congressman
the more i think about mandated health insurance without any public option, the more pissed off i get. my plan if such a thing happens is to refuse to buy insurance at all (disclaimer: i have ins through my employer at the moment and have been without it in the recent past).

If we cannot have universal single payer health care in this country, the very least we must have is a robust public option for health insurance. if congress passes a bill mandating health insurance and all the people can choose from are the huge, greedy health insurance companies - who care not for the welfare of the people but only for their bottom line - i will not take part. it is worse than disingenuous to claim that the people of this wealthy country have some sort of responsibility to feed the gravy train of profits to heartless corporations. Vote for a robust and meaningful public option or lose my vote in the next election. thank you.

1. health insurance payments to FOR PROFITS
is a STUPID TAX. and companies and UNIONS are paying for their stupidity in not demanding SINGLE PAYER. we should pay nominal taxes for GOVERNMENT INSURANCE. NOT TO THE HEALTH INSURANCE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.
