    Yes, the "public option" is a really polarizing part of the discussion right now. It's one facet that we will explore in the series. Thanks for your strong support. We def want to talk further with you as things progress.

    Josh, we have tried to be clear regarding our agenda. We want health care in this country. But yes, we also have questions about how this can work. Our goal is to take our opinions out of the equation and express the information.

    Christopher, thanks! We agree with all your suggestions and take them to heart. We are very open to the idea of working with NPR and are aggressively pursuing this.

    It's a valid concern, for sure. We've started to gather potential consultants (doctors, a medical health researcher, some high-profile whiz kids), but because you are seeing this in its pre-funded stage, it is all dependent on the support of Kickstarter backers. Basically the WHOLE COUNTRY is trying to synthesize this dizzying thousand page bill into practical information. There is a remarkable amount of information out there, and as designers we feel like we do have a particular talent for translating it into a visual language. But part of our funds is specifically for hiring an expert on the details. That being said, if anyone out there has a lead on a consultant that might fit the project, don't hesitate to contact us.

    We are not here to 'compete' at who can explain Health Reform situation better. I believe we ALL have a voice to add to the conversation. Some folks are more receptive to Jon Stewart. Great, I watch him too. While others are more visual people. We don't all ingest information the same way. In the end this is about being proactive. If you felt this may help aid in your understanding of the subject, awesome. If you feel visual imagery is worthless at communicating ideas and concepts, Jon Stewart is still available.
