A strong public option means not having to worry about pre-existing conditions anymore
A strong public option means no more lifetime caps on what the Insurance company pays
A strong public option means subsidies to the poor who cannot afford health care
A strong public option means a cap on premiums, not care
A strong public option means a minimum standard of benefits and what they cover, not what they don't cover
A strong public option means putting controls on premium costs and increases and limits to cost sharing
A strong public option means my children won't have to worry about how to pay for their medicine if I lose my job
A strong public option means no longer living in fear if we miss a premium payment or have a lapse of coverage
A strong public option means my children can't be denied coverage when they leave home


A strong public option was indeed passed with HR 3692. I know many here don't think so, but for the millions of Americans like me and my family, it's a Godsend.
