Sen. Bernie Sanders can save health care from Joe Lieberman. (Credo Action petition)

[StarfarerBill]

"The Senate is poised to pass a deeply flawed health care bill that doesn't include a public option but would require everyone to buy insurance, even if it's unaffordable or doesn't meet their needs.

"Progressives are simply supposed to accept this giveaway to the insurance lobby because we're told that we need to pass something by Christmas and that nothing better can pass the Senate. On both counts, this is simply untrue.

"Sen. Joe Lieberman has shown us that it just takes one senator to block a bill. We need one progressive senator to stand up and block a health care bill without a public option.

"Ask Sen. Bernie Sanders to be a progressive hero and stand up for the public option."

1. If the final bill includes mandates, it's not worth saving...
