1. Unveiling?

What is this, a wedding?

2. That's about right.

Polygamy is permissible. You with us?

3. so "opt out" will not be included - but why is it considered not to be robust?

Just because only 10% or so will be eligible to participate?

4. It's a start

Social Security and Medicaid and SCHIP started out as small programs too. They were popular and they expanded. That will likely be the pathway for the public option too.

5. +1 This is the only way to get there.

With this congress and any likely congress anytime in the foreseeable future...

[Dawgs]

6. +1. It's disappointing that so many don't get this.

:hi:

7. I agree - I have been critical in the past with various PO scenarios

but I can live with this one.

Negotiating rates? Not such a bad deal - if the docs/hospitals agree with regional rates, then everyone wins.

No opt-out? - Excellent.

I don't see this PO as a bad option myself.

8. Who in the hell is the woman in the blue suit?

I left the computer to make me some coffee and breakfast and she is still talking as though she wrote the whole damn bill herself..

9. Since this already happened, I'm surprised there aren't tons of threads...

I missed it. What is the gist of what Nancy said? Anything different from what's posted online (which I need to find)?

Is there a mandate? That concerns me. I'm uninsured and self-employed, and even $200 extra a month isn't doable for me right now. To be penalized for not being about to afford something is concerning, but I can't imagine they would punish people already hurting.
