Support Of The Public Option Is The Only Moral Option

October 29, 2009 By Egberto Willies

PublicOption

Health care reform is close at hand. If you believe you have healthcare insurance that will keep you out of debt if you get really sick, then I have a Caribbean Island for sale. It is time for all honest, moral, and informed citizens to perform their civic duty and call all of their Congress people and Senators to support The Healthcare Reform Bill with a Strong Public Option.

One cannot be rational and not understand that private insurance companies by definition will not reduce their profits unless they have some baseline provided by a public option that does not have a profit incentive. It is not that insurance companies are bad, though many are outright evil, but that any profit driven corporation is tasked to maximize profits. The problem is that health insurance companies do not provide a value to justify any profits and they skim 30% of all healthcare dollars off the top. They are just a middle man. Ideally, a single payer system is preferable, however because of great insurance company and GOP PR it is politically unattainable. As such we must ensure that at least the public option as stated in the bill be realized.

It is your civic duty to be a part of this debate to ensure passage of this bill. Find your Congress Person or Senator below and call then in support Healthcare Reform and specifically a robust public option.

We have a very small window to effect this drastic change. If it is not done now, it will not be done. It is imperative that everyone call their Senator and Congress person and let them know that we will accept no less than a not for profit government insurance to compete with the for profit insurance companies.
