“Nobody can make the case for health reform better than small business owners,” explained Larry McNeely, U.S. PIRG Health Care Advocate. “They have been among the hardest hit by rising health care costs.”

Video Briefing: U.S. PIRG & Senators Support the Public Option

U.S. PIRG joined Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) for a Capitol Hill press conference to highlight the public option’s role in improving coverage choices and lowering health care costs.

“Congress must act,” urged Gary Kalman, U.S. PIRG’s Federal Legislative Office Director. “A bloated and inefficient insurance industry has gouged consumers, families and businesses for too long and we have had no recourse.”
