I could tell you many reasons why this health care reform bill is needed and why it is a good bill, but must include a public option. Let me be clear, however, that a public option is what it says just one more option for you to be able to afford health insurance coverage.

It is not nor will it ever be required nor a government take over of health care.

I leave you with a list of facts:

Insurance industries collectedly made 816 billion dollars in 2009.

Nearly 45,000 people die each year from lack of access to care (source Harvard University)

Members of Congress pay 503 dollars annually for health care access using the Office Of The Attending Physician (Source ABC News) Congress spent 3.8 million dollars to update the offices in 2009.

Each member of Congress makes at least 174,000 a year - 503 dollars on health care = 173,497 dollars after health care costs.

Projected cost of Iraq and Afghanistan Wars 3 trillion dollars

Projected cost of Health Care Reform Bill
1 trillion dollars.

In countries that have a universal health care system there are no bankruptcies due to medical bills.

In the United States OF America there are millions of bankruptcies due to medical expenses.

240 members of Congress used the Office of the Attending Physician in 2008. The office and the health care is staffed by Navy officers and doctors. It is a government run and subsidized health care system (Congress has government run health care, but claims it is bad for us).

Members of Congress do not pay for the individual services they receive at the OAP, nor do they submit claims through their federal employee health insurance policies. Instead, members pay a flat, annual fee of $503 for all the care they receive. The rest of the cost of their care, sources said, is subsidized by taxpayers.
