Firedoglake has raised $17,589 to fight for Public Option

By GottaLaff

Firedoglake is mounting a major campaign to fight for the public option. If you're interested in helping them out:

Next week Obama will speak to Congress to outline his plan for health care reform. We hear that his plan may not include a strong public health insurance option. Incredibly, Obama may advocate for passing a bill with a "trigger."

What's a trigger? It means they'll wait for our health care crisis to get even worse before implementing a public health insurance option. And even then, a public option may never see the light of day.

We need to get ready for this monumental moment. But we need resources for our campaign team to prepare.

Please go here to donate. Compare and contrast a public option plan to Senator Baucus' brilliant public optionless plan to tax insurance companies.
