OK now we need to get it done

[SHRED]

Now that this middle-of-the-road health insurance legislation has passed we need to get a public option, available to all, or at the very least a Medicare "buy-in" option for 55 and above.

This bill is a start...but barely.
My hope is that with it's passage we do not end up with promises unfulfilled like NAFTA.

I know Harry Reid has promised a vote in the "next few months" regarding adding the Public Option but we need to push them, all of Congress.
