Let's hear it for public health option

The Issue

While a strong majority of Americans believe that our health care system needs to be fundamentally changed or completely rebuilt, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll, most would be willing to pay higher taxes so everyone could have health insurance, and believe that government could do a better job than the private sector; at holding down health-care costs.  Moreover, 57% percent believe the Democrats would do better in reforming the health system; only 18% said Republicans would. Half of Republicans said they would support a public plan, along with nearly three-fourths of independents and almost nine in 10 Democrats.  Please advocate for singlepayer healthcare, with CCA, Community Choice Act (for the disabled, etc.); H.R. 676 & S. 703, are the best of the lot, so far; i.m.h.o..
