Rapid Response Team – Weekly Calls to Congress
This weekend President Obama’s Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sibelius, appeared on CNN’s State of the Union and said that the public option is “not the essential element” of the White House reform package. This comes after a week when the White House has changed how it talks about health care reform – changing it to “health insurance reform.” Keeping a public option as part of health care reform is essential to keeping private insurance companies honest – making sure that everyone in America has access to quality, affordable coverage.
