(cross posted on dailykos.com)

I haven't posted a diary here in a while but now is the time. The critical debate over universal healthcare is something I'm passionately involved with. My story has been used by HCAN in recent press conferences in my home state. First my story. A story that is fundamentally un American to me. More below...

Good news-verry good news- tonight from the Hill. house liberals held a presser to proclaim any healthcare reform bil must include the right for individuals to opt into a Medicare under 65 option or else they will kill the whole bill.

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas says it best-we have waited along time so we must jump in front of this train. She frames it as a civil rights issue. the right of people to get not for profit healthcare.

As long as the House liberals hold tight we can defeat Baucus. if they bend or fray we will get screwed beyond belief. Please push your reps to back a strong pub option right now. peopl must have the right to get out fo the for profit system we have.
