I'm also concerned about the public option trap and costs to continue life-support on for-profit insurance corporations and the health industrial complex. All the advanced countries in the world have succeeded where we have failed but instead of modeling after best-practices of successful nations our administration tells us that we need a uniquely American solution. Isn't that a description of the failed system we already have? Thank you for helping the public understand the facts about this.

I like the idea of keeping what is working in different places like Kaiser, Blue Cross... then let others sign up for Medicare, or things like Masshealth in Mass... But I would tax big time the TV, Telephone, and Big Oil and Coal etc. instead of the Smokers. Did I hear right that already tons of trash/cash go to the Insurance Companies already.

If Members of Congress are going to do the right thing, they will need a safety net, an alternative source of campaign money - publicly funded elections. Read about the "Fair Elections Now Act", now in Congress, and ask your representatives to co-sponsor.
