From DKos: WA State "just passed a public option while no one was watching ..."

Full article. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/4/15/1850402/-So-Washington-State-just-passed-a-full-blown-Public-Option-while-no-one-was-watching?detail=emaildkre

There are a few "ands" and "buts," so it's not pure or absolute, but it's well in the forefront on the path to "no citizen left behind."

It looks like Jay Inslee has another feather in his cap besides his climate crusade. I don't know if it will translate to a poll boost (seems to be the only barometer, these days), but I'll bet there are a few people in his state that will be happy either way, and don't give a damn what impression it made on Zogby or Gallup.

We only had about 20 minutes so we didn’t cover everything, but we were definitely on the same wavelength on issues we did cover.
