Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D. WA):
Together, we've made a lot of progress in the past eight years when it comes to making health care more affordable, more accessible, and higher quality. But the work is not over yet.
That's why last week, I joined a few progressive champions in a push to build on the Affordable Care Act with a public option to reduce premiums and help millions more people access affordable health insurance.
In 2010, I advocated for a public option in our health insurance marketplaces, because I believed that families in Washington state and across the country should have more affordable choices and insurance companies should have more competition -- and that's why I'm still fighting for one today.
If you're ready to fight for continued progress on health care reform, then join me today and sign the petition calling for a public option!
The Affordable Care Act has done so much to help patients, families, students, and seniors. We can't go back to the bad old days when insurance companies were in charge -- we need to move forward.
We know Republicans are focused on repealing health care reform, not building on it. So we're in for a tough fight, which is why I need to know you're with me and my colleagues.
Add your name next to mine, and let's fight for the public option today.
Thanks so much,
Patty Murray
U.S. Senator
