a universal healthcare option and/or single-payer. The insurance companies are already in the game unfortunately, so to completely exclude them and strong-arm them is almost impossible (especially when we have politicians who are bought and paid for by them). The next best thing is the public option which could possibly lead to universal or single-payer in the FUTURE (sort of like a crawl before you walk sort of thing). Really and truly, I doubt that we'll ever get universal or single-payer, but at least we'll have the next best thing. To do absolutely NOTHING is definitely NOT AN OPTION.
