Cantwell, Murray still haven't signed Senator Bennet's Public Option Letter

Democracy for America:

LETTER FROM SENATE DEMOCRATS TO LEADER REID

Dear Leader Reid:

We respectfully ask that you bring for a vote before the full Senate a public health insurance option under budget reconciliation rules.

There are four fundamental reasons why we support this approach – its potential for billions of dollars in cost savings; the growing need to increase competition and lower costs for the consumer; the history of using reconciliation for significant pieces of health care legislation; and the continued public support for a public option.

The current list of Senate signers includes:

Michael Bennet (CO) Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) Jeff Merkley (OR) Sherrod Brown (OH) Patrick Leahy (VT) John Kerry (MA) Sheldon Whitehouse (RI) Al Franken (MN) Roland Burris (IL) Bernie Sanders (VT) Barbara Boxer (CA) Barbara Mikulski (MD)

Dianne Feinstein (CA) Frank Lautenberg (NJ) Chuck Schumer (NY) Jeanne Shaheen (NH) Jack Reed (RI) Tom Udall (NM) Arlen Specter (PA) Robert Menendez (NJ) Tim Johnson (SD) Daniel Inouye (HI) Carl Levin (MI)
