Catherine Howard, a 31-year old breast cancer survivor from San Francisco, and Dave Penkava, a 64-year old from Asheboro, N.C., came to Washington to add their voices to the intensifying health care debate. Read more about their visit here, as well as the release of a new Commonwealth Fund report supporting a national health insurance exchange where Americans would choose from competing plans, comparing on an "apples-to-apples" basis, and picking the one that works best for them. The report also includes an analysis of the 'public plan option, showing it would help lower costs and provide a reliable option that could give Americans better care.
