9. Be very clear abiut this: The Public Option....

...as proposed by John Edwards and championed by Howard Dean,

the Public Option that would "open the door for Single Payer",

the Public Option that would be the death knell for the For Profit Health Insurance Industry,

the Public Option supported by 72% of ALL Americans,

THAT Public Option is dead...dead...DEAD.

It was killed by The Democratic Party who replaced by something they call a "Public Option",
but isn't really available to "The Public". The devices the Democratic Party that restrict enrollment in the "Public Option" are so severe that the CBO estimated that LESS than 10 Million people will be enrolled by 2019.

"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans. I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans, family farmers, and people who haven't felt the benefits of the economic upturn."---Paul Wellstone
