This is from an email reply Giffords sent after I called her office supporting the public option.

I support reform that creates competition through a strong public option that lowers everyone's costs and competes with private insurers.  I also support malpractice tort reform, and I will not vote for a bill that is not deficit neutral.  You may be pleased to know that H.R. 3200 is 100 percent paid for through a combination of cost saving measures within the health sector and a new surcharge on the very wealthiest Americans.  Finally, I do not support a "government take-over" of health care or "socialized medicine." 

I can accept that, even though I'm not sure I'd agree on every detail.

You can call Giffords' Tucson office: 881-3588. Call even if you called before. It only takes a minute.
