Subject:
National Health Care, 'Public Option'

To:
President Barack Obama
Sen. John Kerry
Rep. Edward Markey

October 27, 2009

Keep up the pressure to insure that the public option is included in the final National Health Care program. HMO's, Hospitals and other health care facilities will not provide competition within their own ranks. That would be like asking the wolf to guard the chicken shed. We have not had pure competition in any private businesses since the 60s. Giving us that public option will allow choices for Main Street that we CANNOT get today.
