For far too long, Americans have struggled under a broken health care system dominated by insurance companies who care about one thing – their own profits.  Passing health care reform that includes a quality public health insurance option is crucial to America's workers because it will provide a competitive impetus for companies to reduce overhead expenses and lower costs.

Anyone who wants to keep their current insurance is free to do so, but it will be their choice between a private and public option, not their insurance company's.  Not surprisingly, polling shows that the people overwhelmingly favor a public health insurance option being included as a part of health care reform. 

The 'chicken little' letter from the big insurance companies shows that their true agenda is to hold onto their record profits and bonuses by preventing Americans from being able to choose between private insurance and a quality public health insurance option.
