5. Get Small Businesses on the Record Democracy for America’s Small Business Pledge Drive Give America a choice. I am a small business owner and I support healthcare reform that allows individual Americans to choose either a universally available public healthcare option like Medicare or for-profit private insurance. A public option is the best way to provide guaranteed healthcare for all Americans. Democracy for America’s Small Business Pledge Drive is a national effort to collect support for healthcare with a public option from small business leaders.
