Honorable Joe Baca;

Whose ethics are running the show in Congress? Currently, there are:
47 million uninsured Americans
45 thousand deaths per year due to lack of health insurance
11.7% uninsured children in the U.S.
26% not getting prescription due to costs http://bit.ly/8Qq3dt (pdf)
30% putting off care because of costs http://bit.ly/8Qq3dt (pdf)

While health care reform with a Public Option would address some of these appalling stats, now Pelosi tells us there’ll be no Public Option in the House reconciliation fix. We ask you Honorable Baca to tell Pelosi that you want the public option provision brought to a vote before finalizing the House reconciliation fix. It’s the right thing to do!
