Senate bill fines people refusing health coverage

Have those of you unhappy with what's coming out of Washington on healthcare reform considered contacting your state governments to push them towards giving you what you want? If you want a public option and Washington isn't going to give you, there's nothing that says that, say, Sacramento can't provide one independent of whatever the federal government does.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Which is actually a good argument that turning over any amount of control over the healthcare system to government is probably a bad idea. But it doesn't change the fact that if you want government involvment in it, such as a public option, the federal government isn't the only government in this country you can get it from. And, given the nature of states and state government, you're more likely to actually get what you want, and get it sooner, than relying on Washington to do it for you.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
