Farmers in red states need a public option. Self-employed, and living where there is little competition among insurers, working hard, hazardous jobs.

People at the Town Halls were telling me that the uninsured were all illegal aliens or else deadbeats who made ‘bad choices’. But the business owner, the farmer, the young adult is the person who is left out of our current ‘system’.

It could be your neighbor. And in a time of layoffs and insecurity–it could be you.
