I'm a conservative Democrat. I believe a free-market economy is the best way for as many people as possible to do well financially. But a free market did not best serve the world in the late 19th century when Standard Oil controlled 90% of the oil reserves. Today's 'free' health-care market is not serving U.S. citizens well, partially because of two oligopolies who exert far too much control: pharmaceutical and health insurance industries. They are controlling the message and, apparently, members of Congress. Without a public option, every version of the bills currently under consideration lose most their power to drive down costs.
My message to all current representatives, Republicans and Democrats alike: Bottom line, no public option, you lose my vote. Period.
