Maybe this will help with this particular phone bank.

When I did my calls this morning I had several elderly people who needed assistance with their insurance/health care problems. I finally found one number which I gave to one elderly gentlemen. It was the State Health Insurance Assistance Program 1-800-307-4444 (or Las Vegas 486-3478). So he told me he would call Sen. Reid for that public option concern.

Maybe that number will help anybody who encounters any elderly Nevadan constituent who need assist with insurance/health care issues.

TPMDC quotes Nelson and Conrad as stating that the leadership and Obama are moving towards the Schumer public option in the merged bill.

The pressure is working. This is like the Grinch movie where the Grinch’s heart grows at the end, but now we are watching Reid’s spine. C’mon Harry, you can do it…

Remember, folks: The deal was supposed to have gone down by now.

The big sellout of the public option — which was prearranged to be sacrificed in order to buy the aid of the health-care industry (or at least the lack of new “Harry and Louise” ads being run 24/7 for the past six months) in getting some “reform” legislation passed — was supposed to have already happened, and the Baucus bill (aka the MaxTax on the poor and middle class) signed into law.

But for far less than what the health-care lobby spends in an afternoon, Jane Hamsher and her allies have fought a trillion-dollar industry to a standstill — and are on the verge of winning the fight.

One more push, one more big push. We can do it.

He’s really affecting the choices we’re making and the things we’re working on. I don’t even think about it and then boom, you can see his mighty paw on everything.

Karen that’s so funny you say that. Katie used to do that all the time. Kobe tried it once and nobody bit, and that was that.

He was theatrical without actually being a very good actor.

Thanks for hitting the phones. The response so far has been really great. It’s definitely having an impact.
