Demand the public option!

Demand the public option!

Tell Congress:

"We want a public option! All Americans should have the option of health insurance like Medicare that competes with private for-profit insurers. Members of Congress and candidates should embrace it in 2016 so we have momentum and can pass it under the next president."

    Last month, when the Obama administration refused to approve Aetna's patient-threatening mega-merger, the giant insurance corporation retaliated by pulling out of 11 states and screwing over millions of people.

    That's why UltraViolet, along with a broad coalition of progressive allies, is joining Senators Bernie Sanders, Debbie Stabenow, Barbara Boxer, and others to help create a national public health insurance option--and give people the ability to take their lives out of the hands of greedy private insurers like Aetna.

    This could mean giving every American the ability to buy insurance through Medicare. That's why the health insurance industry will be fighting tooth and nail to kill this proposal. But if enough of us join together, we can make the public health insurance option central to the 2016 debates and force every candidate for president and Congress to speak on it. Can you sign on as a supporter?
