We need a national health system in the United States that covers everyone and we need a public option -- not just mercenary, predator private insurance companies. Cooperatives would be OK as an addition. Incorporate both the public option and cooperatives and let them both offer options to the private sector and compete vigorously.

The public option is absolutely mandatory. If we do not get it, the Congressional and Senate Democratic majorities will disappear. Who needs these guys -- and you -- if you and they cannot produce? A weak, ostensibly Democratic government is worse than the Republicans -- at least with the Republicans we know whom to blame and hate.

I am a lifelong Democrat but you and Congress need to produce to show yourselves as worthy of our support.
