According to The American Prospect, "The public option is a government health insurance program akin to Medicare, which would be open to anyone."
I recently saw on oped which said that Barbara Boxer supports a "public option" in healthcare legislation. The same piece said that Diane Feinstein hadn't taken a firm position. I Googled "Feinstein+healthcare" to see if she'd stated her position anywhere. I couldn't find anything in the initial search. Has anyone here seen her say it anywhere?
Her positions on relative issues seems encouraging, but, as we all know, politicians are slippery at best. I sent her an email urging her to difinitively support a public option. I hope you'll take a few moments to do the same.
