:applause:
He has brought it up several times now and related it to flood insurance (closest comparison we have, IMO)

5. And Dr Dean is right. We need a stroke in the 'win' column |

WELL before 2012 and a "public option" that doesn't open until 2013 will cost us 2012.
Let people 50+ buy into Medicare now is his plan and I LOVE it.

6. No, he said the Dems should have said the public option was Medicare for all |

He was talking about miscommunicating what it is. He said by not communicating it in this way people became confused. For one thing, the majority of Americans still support a public option, and most likely, more will after tonight.
