So I heard on Keith last night that house is going to craft PO as Medicare Part E

[WI_DEM]

or MC for everybody. I think it is a brilliant move if this is the case. I think it is an approach even some of the blue dogs can work on and it would give the public the option to buy into Medicare.

What are your thoughts?

1. Yes Dennis Kucinich ideas are often brilliant.

too bad it take so damn long for others to pick up on them

4. But DUers said it was a fake ploy and its clearly not real Medicare (as its not)

and it is a sell out worse than no changes at all - (is it still Dennis' idea?)Did Dennis completely sell out and defraud the left?

2. Where do I sign up?

This thread is going to fuck up the Dem haters around here. They won't know what to say. They are thinking about it though.

Give 'em a minute.

3. My thoughts are they should've called it this from the get-go...

...It would have saved us a lot of drama back in August.

It's a great idea as long as it's legit and is actually available to everyone.

5. Great idea

Call it medicare for all get it passed and pull the rug out of underneath everyone when they find out only 10 million americans will be enroll by 2019 and it is not subsidized and is in direct competition with cut throat private ins.

Oh and it will leave tens of millions still uninsured.


Brilliant!

6. Part E = for EVERYONE!

It should have been the solution all along.

7. I'd say they were going to *market* it as Medicare Part E.

I wish they were actually crafting it that way. (This is not meant as a slam on you, but on the House.)
