It's the basic thing keep it simple just change the language for medicare to keep it free for seniors and for those below allow to buy into the system which is zero profit lower premiums. No starting from scratch it's already there. All set up ready to go, they can't demonize medicare. No convoluted dos and don'ts for public option just change the language for an operational system. He just basically got to make his bills simple effective non negotiable and worded so carefully the right can't bring it down. Hartmann suggest we contact all represntatives and WH to let them know this is all we need. It's just when I hear a good idea I like to get it out there as much as possible, apparently someone floated the idea on a right wing blog they were all for it. So people are getting it, the tiny minority against are just making a lot of noise.

3. It would be a variation on a theme 676 but the only difference being it's an option they can't slam |

because everyone knows what it is. No changes, no modifications just the option to buy in. A single payer has a tax cost and that's all it's zero profit premiums would be in reality. Either opt in to it or keep the extortion folks already have.
