It's official: most Americans want a public option healthcare plan. Barack Obama actually has the political capital to make it a reality. So why is it that so many Democrats, their tails tucked firmly between their legs, have set about undermining it?

Tell Senator Max Baucus that while we appreciate a private meeting for single payer, that is not good enough. Single payer needs to be on the table, because with fair consideration single payer will be the health care plan adopted by the nation.

Each year, 20,000 Americans die from lack of access to healthcare. Almost 50 million people in this country have no insurance. With unemployment skyrocketing and costs continuing to spiral upwards, things will only get worse for us. This is unacceptable.
