Here's my congressperson, Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO), agreeing with President Obama that doing nothing is not an option, but:

I agree with the President that consumers do better when there is choice and competition. The best way to achieve this is by offering a strong public option that will not only bring down rising costs, but will also ensure competition and transparency among private companies within the insurance Exchange. No one will be forced into the public option, but they will have that choice as an affordable alternative.”

    I like what your rep says. Mine is a knee jerker who hates anything Obama does but when Bush did the same things he was okay with them. The only thing that might make him vote for the bill is the fact that he's one of the top recipients of insurance lobbyist money in congress.

    DeGette has been stronger on PO lately (5.00 / 1) (
