Want to know where Congress stands on the public option?

It's time to get your senators on the record. Email four simple questions to your senators right now.

Senator responses to each specific question are posted here.
In addition to your emails, Democracy for America members and our partners have made calls to Congress and reported back the results to Stand With Dr. Dean. We have compiled the reports from those calls and combed through public statements of every member of Congress. Based on a complete review of your reports and our research, the grid below lists every member of Congress and their basic position on the inclusion of a public healthcare option
