It’s time to reset the clock on health care.  A couple of months ago, we set the countdown to enact a true public health care option at Thanksgiving.

The holiday has come and gone.  We’re definitely closer, but we’re not there yet.  We got a bill through the House, but the debate over abortion and continuing opposition by a few senators to a true public option has delayed real action in the Senate.

That’s why we’ve put the clock at January 1, 2010.  The battle for a real public option isn’t over.  We’ve had important victories, but now the homestretch begins.

Let’s use the next month to tell the Senate why we need them pass a public option by the New Year.  It’s time to put an end to the delays, and make 2009 the year we achieved real health care reform.
