Thank Sen. Boxer and Sen. Feinstein for their support of the public option
Sign the letter from the Courage Campaign urging them to take leadership in the Senate
Senator Barbara Boxer and Senator Dianne Feinstein just signed their names to a letter on Thursday insisting that the Senate include a strong public option in the merged health care bill. Now the battle for health care reform and the public option is about to reach a decisive stage. We must ensure that Senators Boxer and Feinstein continue their support of a strong public option.
One of the best ways to do so is to reward good behavior. Please sign the Courage Campaign's letter thanking Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein for supporting a strong public option -- and asking them to take leadership to insure that a public option is in the final bill.
Senator Barbara Boxer and Senator Dianne Feinstein,
We, the undersigned, thank you for making a strong public statement supporting the choice of a public health insurance option.
Health insurance companies are already beginning a new campaign to stop real health care reform that would stop them from raising premiums to unaffordable levels and deny care to the sick. We can keep those companies honest by giving Americans the choice of a robust public option to meet their health care needs.
Now we need you to step up and provide leadership to ensure the public option will be preserved in the final bill that President Obama will sign. As the Senate prepares to merge the three different committee bills, we are asking you to use your influence to ensure that the Senate approves a bill with a robust public option.
Sincerely,
