I have been pretty quiet and low key over the summer about HC Reform...

...

For a reason. When we talk about Healthcare Reform, things can get very heated. Yes, I may have had a tweet or two and I may have even had a streamed facebook thread that lasted over 30 lengthy remarks. I applaud all people around the nation who have spoken up about this issue. That means you are engaged and care about the effect reform will have directly on you and the lives of others. And by spoken up, I don't mean strictly opposed. I mean all the people who have voiced their opinions for or against the legislative bills weaving their way through the political process. Everyone knows I am for Healthcare reform, but did voice some of my questions and concerns. I had some of my friends voice why they felt a government-runned option is best and that socialism is the key. I had others tell me that you leave the public health option in and you will ration care to the tune of the government not being able to manage it efficiently. So tell me, now that Obama stated whether the public option is in the bill or not (because its just a sliver), are you in favor of a bill that does not contain a public Health Option.
