MomsRising comes out in favor of a STRONG Public Option

2. "STRONG" is becoming such a cliche, general way to describe the already ambiguous "Public Option"
I wish one or two of these organization would put a line in a sand and define "strong" right down to premium amounts, negotiating power, services and access requirements
