1. Yes, but remember ...
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. If we don't provide a robust Public Plan to provide competition to the bloated and corrupt Insurance Companies, it will just GUT the middle class out of existence. We'll be left with Overlords, A Merchant Class, and The Working Poor.

Guess which class the lion's share of DUers will be in? :(

4. If President Obama started with "Single Payer" THEN a strong "Public Option" would
have been the WORST case scenario. :shrug:
