SEIU President Andy Stern weighed in this morning on the National Journal's health care experts blog. He talked about cutting through the argument between two extremes that has halted progress on health care reform and finding a middle ground solution that addresses the crisis head-on:

Fixing health care means offering choice and flexibility as part of any solution. Too often, Americans are presented with false options: either a government-run system funded by high taxes or a deregulated private market that puts profits ahead of patient care. Neither extreme would get the job done.

Andy's comment comes on the heels of major developments in our movement to fix health care. Last month, Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) released a call to action and a comprehensive plan to immediately solve the health care crisis. Last week, Tom Daschle - the leader of President-elect Obama's health care transition team - issued a similar plea for Americans to take ownership of the movement to fix health care.
