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?

Health care is a human right. It is not a product that an insurance company should be profiting from. Please support a single payer, national health insurance plan that includes all Americans and leaves nobody out. We need expanded Medicare for all.
