...that we MUST have a public health care option (expansion of Medicare to cover those under 65) as a choice in health care reform.

If people want to keep their private insurance, they can. If they want the public option they can have that. If more people choose the public option (HATED by insurance companies who don't want to lose the $$$$) then so be it. It puts public health care in direct competition with private for-profit insurance companies and THEY NEED some competition. If that competition drives them out of business - well, waaah. Who cares?

Having a public option as a choice is the FIRST STEP in moving towards real single-payer, public health care and in REAL health care reform.
