Once the public has understood the isses, support for a public option has grown and grown.<\/p>\n We need Majority Rule rule in the California legislature just as urgently as we need a progressive, affordable health insurance option.<\/p>\n Every single day, for months on end, we’ve been told “the public option is dead.” Yet all signs point to the real possibility of a good bill getting to Obama’s desk.<\/p>\n Why should we listen to the nay sayers who are telling us that the voters won’t support majority rule for our legislature?
