Big push for a VIGOROUS public option (MUST-READ)

[Mark Crispin Miller]

Ffrom Andrew Kreig:

Dear Colleagues:

 

You might find of interest a Huffington Post column I published this morning containing video

and testimony about a House town-hall hearing featuring patients and physicians advocating for

a public option.  The late-schedule hearing received scant coverage otherwise, and the witnesses

and filmmakers who cooperated with me on my report clearly would love to air their story more widely as health care decision-making proceeds.

 

That's fine with me of course, and you're welcome to use any of the material including videos

(by my understanding from the documentary filmmakers).  I've compiled this list of those whom

I've met either in my Hill coverage (primarily of criminal justice issues), or whom I thought might

be particularly interested in a story that involves Hill and/or racial minority issues.
