Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), one of the chamber's foremost progressives, said that while he supported a government-run option for insurance, he was "open" to alternatives.br /br / "Just understand that, after we pass this bill -- and I hope we do -- in the Senate, it will go to conference committee," said Durbin. "We'll have a chance to work out all of our differences."br /br /There can be no meaningful health care reform without a public option. Senator Durbin needs to be reminded of this. We need to flood his office with our views first thing monday morning. Very simple. br /br /br /br /You can use Senator Durbin's online US Senate contact page:br /http://durbin.senate.gov/...br /br /Or (PREFERABLY!) you can give his office(s) a call:br /br / strong WASHINGTON, D.C.
