15. Yes, yes I would
I would support and work for Dems who do not vote for a public option. Though, technically, that won't happen if a public option is not there for them to vote for. The House bill has it, the Senate bill might not (still being written) so it might not come to that.

I have never been a single-issue person. I think the public option is a great idea and I am glad that those who backed it and fought for it did so. But if it is removed because it does not have the votes of the Congress, then it is removed and political reality has shifted and I will work and live in that new world. I will have no choice. The world does not conform to what I want or don't want. 95 times out of 100, I lose. Then, you do it again. That is how it is done.
