Anyone against a robust public option is not a progressive.

[ProSense]

"The public option is central to healthcare reform. Real reform, which lowers costs and ensures all Americans get the quality, affordable healthcare that they deserve, cannot be accomplished without a robust public option. As we have stated repeatedly for months now, a majority of the members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus will oppose any healthcare reform legislation that does not include a robust public option. Our position has not, and will not, change. As Co-Chair of the Progressive Caucus, I look forward to working with my colleagues to develop comprehensive legislation that allows all Americans to choose the healthcare plan that’s right for them and their families. But I will not support any bill that does not include a public option."

Only an obstructionist would try to block or campaign against a robust public option.

3. Need to change labels about moderate/progressive on this. Public Option is for cost cutting, and

Ed Schultz and others keep missing that selling point, which undermines supposed moderate concern for fiscal discipline.
