How to make the health care bill better

Many of you reading this probably support the health care bill in the House today. You probably will also agree with me that it could be better. It’s major “doing bad” flaw is that it will introduce lots of restrictions to to abortion access. It’s major “not doing enough” flaw… well, there are many… but the easiest way it can be made dramatically better is if it included a competitive government-operated health insurance provider (the “public option”).

So, what can you, dear reader, do to make this bill better?

It’s been shown that a majority of senators support a public option. Tell Senator Michael Bennet to introduce a Public Option ammendment in the Senate.

Sadly, I think the horrible language about abortion is going to make it into the bill. But the ACLU has a letter generator to communicate your grievances to your representatives.
