Health care reform is close at hand. If you believe you have healthcare insurance that will keep you out of debt if you get really sick, then I have a Caribbean Island for sale. It is time for all honest, moral, and informed citizens to perform their civic duty and call all of their Congress people and Senators to support The Healthcare Reform Bill with a Strong Public Option.

One cannot be rational and not understand that private insurance companies by definition will not reduce their profits unless they have some baseline provided by a public option that does not have a profit incentive. It is not that insurance companies are bad, though many are outright evil, but that any profit driven corporation is tasked to maximize profits. The problem is that health insurance companies do not provide a value to justify any profits and they skim 30% of all healthcare dollars off the top. They are just a middle man. Ideally, a single payer system is preferable, however because of great insurance company and GOP PR it is politically unattainable. As such we must ensure that at least the public option as stated in the bill be realized.

It is your civic duty to be a part of this debate to ensure passage of this bill. Find your Congress Person or Senator below and call then in support Healthcare Reform and specifically a robust public option.

We have a very small window to effect this drastic change. If it is not done now, it will not be done. It is imperative that everyone call their Senator and Congress person and let them know that we will accept no less than a not for profit government insurance to compete with the for profit insurance companies.

This illustrates why passing an effective healthcare reform bill is proving so difficult.

Six lobbyists for every member of Congress as healthcare industry heaps cash on politicians to water down legislation A demonstration in Washington against Obama’s healthcare reform plan. Photograph: Rex Features America’s healthcare industry has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to block the introduction of public medical insurance and stall other reforms promised by Barack Obama. The campaign against the president has been waged in part through substantial donations to key politicians. Supporters of radical reform of healthcare say legislation emerging from the US Senate reflects the financial power of vested interests ‑ principally insurance companies, pharmaceutical firms and hospitals ‑ that have worked to stop far-reaching changes threatening their profits. The industry and interest groups have spent $380m (£238m) in recent months influencing healthcare legislation through lobbying, advertising and in direct political contributions to members of Congress. The largest contribution, totaling close to $1.5m, has gone to the chairman of the senate committee drafting the new law. <<CONTINUED>>
