1. Once the Dems blow this chance by doing so little to fix the problem, they will not get another
chance until long after I die.

People who want real reform will not support another faux effort. And the pukes have shown that they will fight anything even remotely positive. So, the Dem pols will claim their victory and continue to feed at the corporate trough.

4. Exactly why the public option is so important.
A government run public option is something that can be tweaked. Anything else, outside of single payer, won't change the system much at all.
