The author looks at two aspects of the health care reform measures that must be merged.

Though we don't know exactly what is in the Senate health care reform bill, we know enough to know that without a public option, mandates will not work. Here's why.

Your congressional representatives are lying to you about health care reform; why, and what can you do about it?

My opinion on why the public option must be made available to all Americans. I reflect on the US having the highest health care costs and not the service to match.

One of the features of health care reform or Obamacare is the "public option", essentially a kind of Medicare for everybody that would "compete" with a private health care insurance program. The public option has proven to be very unpopular.
