The Policy-Speak Disaster for Health Care

The inclusion of a public option in health care reform is
absolutely essential to ensuring that this change serves the
people and not the insurance and pharmaceutical companies. 
The delivery of the country into the hands of the democratic
party came with the responsibility to change the way
Washington does business and the democratic party has much to
lose if it appears to sell out the interests of the common
good for big business and small victories.  I hear this
sentiment everywhere and not just in blue Massachusetts. The
majority of this country supports the public option and it is
important that this majority becomes a visible entity.  In
this spirit, I propose a Public Option Day with your support. 
I will be holding an event at the Massachusetts State House in
Boston on September 2nd from noon-2pm and also encouraging
those who cannot attend the event but support the inclusion of
a public option to wear a unifying color (blue, of course...)
to show our majority status.  If you are in the Boston Area,
please come out!  And if you are elsewhere, make Public Option
Day happen in your own city and we can become a unified voice.
 Please show us your support in this effort and we can win the
reform that we and future generations require.  Thank you.
