BILLINGS - Protestors rallied outside Senator Max Baucus's Billings office Thursday urging the democrat to consider a public option plan in a new healthcare bill.

The protest was one of 150 going on around the country organized by the group Moveon.org. Protestors say it was important to gather outside the senator's office because he's the main player in the new healthcare reform bill. Organizers say their plan is all about options.

"It means choice, it means choice for Montanans and choice for Americans because it allows you to choose the option of privatized healthcare if that's what you have and that's what you like," said Moveon.org spokesperson Christina Quijano.

In a 2007 government survey more than 45 million Americans under the age of 65 were without health insurance.
