So why are you against it? The public option is basically expansion
of Medicare, and why not let everybody into the program? Explain how
it could do any harm if participants younger than 65 have to pay
completely for the coverage.

The hell it is. Why would they need so much resources merely to expand
Medicare?

We'll just have to do what Pelosi says: pass the bill so we can find out

DUH!! The bill in the Congress takes $500,000 OUT of Medicare, which is
CURRENTLY underfunded as it is. Medicare is CURRENTLY going bankrupt as is
Medicaid, dummy. When has the government run ANYTHING that works
efficiently?
