KO is hammering medicare-for-all as a necessity

[Ruby the Liberal]

:applause:

He has brought it up several times now and related it to flood insurance (closest comparison we have, IMO)

MSNBC is live streaming for those who can't access.

1. He described the public option as Medicare for all. n/t

[Sebastian Doyle]

2. As has Howard Dean

and that is precisely what it should be.

[Ruby the Liberal]

5. And Dr Dean is right. We need a stroke in the 'win' column

WELL before 2012 and a "public option" that doesn't open until 2013 will cost us 2012.

Let people 50+ buy into Medicare now is his plan and I LOVE it.

[ProSense]

6. No, he said the Dems should have said the public option was Medicare for all

He was talking about miscommunicating what it is. He said by not communicating it in this way people became confused. For one thing, the majority of Americans still support a public option, and most likely, more will after tonight.

[Ruby the Liberal]

3. No -- he is promoting the off-the-table plan as the answer

Someone needed to. Other than Kooch, Weiner and Dr. Dean, that is.

[BrklynLiberal]

4. It would seem so straightforward...all the mechanisms are in place already.

The only "problem" is that insurance companies would not get their obscene profits...

[Ruby the Liberal]

7. Well then, let them go the way of other predatory industries and

thank their lucky stars that jail time isn't part of the package.

[BrklynLiberal]

9. From your keyboard to the ears of she who can make it so...

[valerief]

8. America vs. the Insurance Companies (and their minions, Congress).

That's our war.

[Johonny]

10. It's a good night for him

[Ruby the Liberal]

11. "The point where we can AFFORD to live"

He is PISSED.

Go Keith!

[zaj]

12. Correction: Medicare for ANYONE

Not "for ALL".

[Ruby the Liberal]

13. Thanks. That is a better description.

I will try to be cognizant of it. :hi:
