Introduce an amendment to the bill (whatever bill is voted on, that is) that explicitly bars any age discrimination, discrimination against the disabled or the terminally ill in the public option AND by private insurance.

I'm not looking to satisfy the tea baggers or the birthers, but it could calm any potential concerns by the mushy middle from materializing.

2. It doesn't matter what is *ACTUALLY IN THE BILL**
The GOP will lie about it anyway.
