Dear President Obama,

It seems, from my readings, that you may have to relinquish the plan for a public option

when you speak to Congress tomorrow. I want to tell you to do so, but only if

you get in return: 1. a substancial structure in place that will give good care to poor children and the neediest elderly. 2. no allowance of refusal of coverage of pre-existing conditions.

Lets hope for that much.
