Worth a Thousand Words

“Public Option Please” is a health care reform advocacy group which sponsored a pro-public option art contest. The winning entry captures the essence of the debate perfectly, even better than any writing I’ve read on the subject.
If those favoring a public option do indeed find this art inspiring, then I think all sides of the issue can use it to inspire their ranks.
(N.B. the artist erroneously attributes the quote to Thomas Jefferson. It is actually from Henry St. John Bolingbroke, Viscount, in Bolingbroke’s essay “The Idea of a Patriot King,” which was written in 1738.)
