I would like you to support a Robust public option. I am uninsured and would like access to healthcare. It should be a right not only for people who can afford it. A sick nation is a weak nation.

Jim Cooper Great article on taking politics out of Medicare reimbursement decisions...

Jim Cooper Yesterday, House leaders unveiled the first draft of the health care reform bill. It’s not perfect—we still have a long way to go to get it right—but with hard work it can be improved in the committee process. Watch my interview with CBS's Bob Schieffer on today's Washington Unplugged.

Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.)member of the Blue Dog Coalition spoke with Bob Schieffer about health care reform as well as Gov. Sarah Palin.
