....which 72% favor.


(Even 82% of the 2008 Obama voters who jumped ship & voted for Brown.)


As long as the Democratic Party is the party trying to pass as "reform" a wildly un-popular No-Public-Option MANDATE that only 34% of voters think is "better than passing nothing", rather than Medicare-for-All (which voters understand & support) the Democratic Party will keep sinking in the polls.


Mandatory insurance without a public plan will DESTROY the Democratic Party.







"If Barack Obama’s bill gets changed to exclude the public entities, it is not health insurance reform . . . it rises and falls on whether the public is allowed to choose Medicare if they’re under 65 or not. If they are allowed to choose Medicare as an option, this bill will be real health care reform...."

- Howard Dean
