This shoulda been put in the first place, as an alternative to BOcare.:2wave:
<President Obama is calling on Congress to add a “public option” to ObamaCare to improve his signature health law.>
<The pitch from Obama comes after he abandoned pursuit of a government-run insurance plan to compete with private insurers during the long legislative battle over healthcare because of opposition from some Democrats in Congress.>
<Obama’s call for the public option echoes Clinton’s, though Clinton goes farther in that she does not limit her proposal to certain areas and calls for the ability to buy into Medicare starting at age 55.>
<The moves also come at a time when Sanders has electrified much of the Democratic base through his proposal to go even further, and provide single-payer healthcare for everyone.>
