5. I think the nomer "public option"
was a crappy one in the first place. Too loosey - goosey, and confusing. I don't know - I'm thinking something like "public choice" or "public coverage."

Any other ideas?

:hi:

6. No doctors
Trust me, there will be no doctors. There is already a shortage of them. What will happen when you add 30000,000 to the system?

We have NO DOCTORS in CA. We flee to the US for good medical care... what will we do if this goes through?
