TIME GOES BY | Senator Kohl Answers Your Health Care Reform Questions

Senator Kohl didn't have time to address the public option that so many of you asked about. Here, however, is a statement he sent by email:

“I do believe health reform should include some type of a public option to provide Americans with a choice between private and public insurance. A public option will not undermine current health providers, instead it will help lower costs by offering competition to private companies.”

Any of you who have been following the health care reform in Congress and the media know that there have been a lot of false rumors, myths and lies about what will be contained in the final bill. In addition to representing Wisconsin in the Senate, Kohl sits on the Senate Special Committee on Aging and he has issued a Fact vs. Fiction document [pdf] that should clear up some of those misconceptions.
