If The Democrats Don't Pass At Least The Public Option...
I'm telling all of the senior citizens that I know that our government has ruled that government health plans are awful and can't be allowed, and that their Medicare may be getting axed next. Tell them if they want to make sure to keep Medicare, then vote for Dr. Dean or others who support government-run insurance.

2. You are blaming seniors for the actions of -
the President, Senators and House members. That makes sense.

3. The biggest mistake is that Obama should have proposed medicare for all
Or at least a medicare buy-in for people that are under 65.

Most people don't even understand what is in most of the bills. They are just too confusing for most people and there are too many different proposals floating around.

Medicare is something most people can understand.

BTW, Dr. Dean is running for President? :shrug:

5. I'd keep it in the current time frame with the support you give Dr. Dean.
Next time is not on the table.
