This is my compiled letter to my representatives on real health care reform. I am kinda proud of it.

"It is essential that we have a public health care option. Nothing will change under a plan limited to the present insurance company plans. Inflation of both care and drug costs will continue and millions of Americans will not be able to afford health care. The insurance and pharma administrations are getting larger and larger salaries. There has to be an option motivated by patient care instead of only profit if we are all going to have health care equality. That option is a public health insurance plan.
I am advocating for a public health insurance option for myself, my family, and all families across America. This would slow the growth in medical costs, inject competition into the private health insurance market, and guarantee that high-quality, affordable coverage will be there for individuals and families no matter what happens to their jobs or their health. We would have our choice of doctors and hospitals and be entitled to comprehensive benefits including preventive services and treatment for serious conditions.
A public health insurance plan would also help fix the economy by keeping workers healthy and productive, thereby reducing preventable illness and sick days and yielding higher profits, and reducing our long-term health care expenses by cutting administrative costs and emphasizing prevention of serious conditions and catastrophic care.
If there's no public health insurance option, it's not true reform, and I believe the American people would not be fooled into thinking anything other than that. "
