We need to put the screws on any Democrat that does not cooperate on this seminal issue. There is nothing more important for regular Americans than health care that is affordable and effective. We will never have that with the insurance companies running the entire show.</p> As a fellow Illinois voter, I am furious that the Dems are starting to bail on the public option feature of the health care reform.
