The first option is significantly better because it mentions the excessive premiums, co-pays and the health insurance special interest groups that are pressuring Congress to block reform. The second was not as nearly pointed, and the final only had one significant line in my opinion, the "where is our bailout".

I agree with Brad. The first one is best. It also mentions a large hospital bill left over and paying a lot for inadequate coverage. The other ones don't touch on the basic ethical issue of should we allow people to go broke or die because they are unable to get adequate treatment. A recent Harvard University study showed that about 45,000 American die each year because they don't have adequate access to health care. Here's a good link from Factcheck.org about people dying because they are uninsured.
