Public Option Resolution
WHEREAS, the health care system of the United States is in crisis,
with almost fifty million Americans lacking any health insurance,
tens of millions more lacking adequate coverage, and millions more
who do have private coverage paying increasingly unaffordable
premiums, resulting in inadequate access to care and premature
death, illness, or financial ruin for millions of Americans; and
WHEREAS, public polls show that an overwhelming majority of
Americans want health care reform to offer the choice of a robust
public option similar to Medicare in order to, in the words of
President Obama, “keep the insurance companies honest,” while co-ops
or so-called “triggers” are inadequate in and of themselves to
address the health care crisis by creating significant competition
for the medical insurance industry; and
WHEREAS, Republicans and their allies in the health insurance
industry have organized and funded groups of extremists to disrupt
efforts on the part of the Democratic majority and administration to
reasonably discuss the issue with the American people, and have
demonstrated an utter unwillingness to compromise in any way to pass
meaningful health care reform;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the [Name of Organization] urges
Democratic members of Congress to vote for only such healthcare
reform proposals as contain a robust public option at all stages of
the legislative process including conference and reconciliation, and
encourages Democratic legislators to use any available parliamentary
means to pass such reform;
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the [Name of Organization] shall send a
copy of this resolution to all Democratic members of Congress who
represent any of our members.
Signed By [Organization
Leader].
