trying to enact a M4A plan.

Too many are opposed, right now. With a Public Option people will get a chance to try it out and will likely gravitate to "Medicare" quickly if the cost is reasonable.

I'm not sure the cost/premium is going to be that much less than commercial insurance, but we'll have to see.

Note: I do believe that whatever is the next step should ensure everyone has coverage and adequate subsidies to afford coverage and any coinsurance/deductibles.
