Poll says 76 percent want public option

Even as the Senate moves closer to producing a health reform bill
without a public plan option, a new poll shows that 76 percent of the public wants to have a public option in the bill. This doesn't translate into support for the president's plan, as this Huffington Post story explains.

Meanwhile, Firedoglake and Open Left are calling for political action to pressure supposedly progressive Democrats in Congress to vote against any health care bill that doesn't include a strong public option. Of course, none of these representatives are from Oklahoma, so I'm not sure how much attention they would pay to anyone from around these parts.
