Quote from Eliot Hosewater:
A Democrat Congressman from Florida just introduced a Public Option. Funny, it's not getting much air play on either side.

Alan Grayson Tossed Out A Hardball
Now we're talking:
Congressman Alan Grayson, D-Fla., today introduced a bill (H.R. 4789) which would give the option to buy into Medicare to every citizen of the United States. The âPublic Option Act,â also known as the âMedicare You Can Buy Into Act,â would open up the Medicare network to anyone who can pay for it.

Ding ding ding ding.
If you're going to mandate that everyone have health insurance, then you have to provide a public option.
That is the only way you're going to keep people from being raped.
I still don't think this is Constitutional, by the way, but this much is clear: Medicare's premiums haven't been going up at 20, 30 or 40% a year.
Depending on the premium, I'm interested, and would likely dump my private insurance (which I have to pay for in cash) immediately were this to become law.
If we can't have the sort of four-point plan I've put forward in the past, this is the next best option.

As a heath care professional over the past five years I have earned 2-3x the national average.
I can tell you this, if that changes much I won't be putting in the time anywhere like I once did.
I suspect I won't be alone in this , so good luck with that obama care stuff.

So when I ask you to mention the facts, you call me names. What a mature and reasonable response. This is exactly what we need, when someone calls out for a debate, simply insult the person and vilify the guy asking for a response.
Kudos to You Sir.
