A Washington Post/ABC News poll released yesterday was widely reported as evidence that support for the public option has returned. Though it's only 5 percent higher than it was at what the Post calls its "summertime lows" of 52 percent this summer, the Post declared that support has "rebounded." Ah, what a difference a few percentage points make. But what I found truly amazing was that a certain type of public option had the support of more than three-fourths of respondents. Even more shocking was that 56 percent of Republicans support this type of public option. More than half of self-identified Republicans, of the party that brought deathers and tenthers to this debate, support the public option? How could this be?

Whatever passes the Congress will be insufficient to meet the broad based health care needs of the American people, which is why it is important to give the states the option to move toward single payer. Call your representative now and demand that the Kucinich state single payer amendment remain in the bill. Boston.com: Chronic illnesses more often undiscovered, undertreated in uninsured.
