health care - blunt postition...

yes, it has it's positives and negatives but this is what i think we need to catch us up to all the other first world countries of the world....

Health Care Reform is MEANINGLESS without a strong condition-free PUBLIC OPTION, with clear unrestricted path to SINGLE PAYER.

A Public Option must be administered by the Federal Government.
A Public Option must be available to anyone who wants it.
A Public Option must be available to anyone, irrespective of Pre-Existing Conditions
A Public Option must be available to anyone at affordable rates.
A Public Option must be available to anyone whether employed or not.
A Public Option must be available to anyone whether his/her employer offers it or not.
A Public Option must NOT have any conditions placed on it by any private or for-profit entities.
A Public Option must NOT restrict anyone from opting in or out of it.
A Public Option must NOT be restricted from evolving into Single Payer.

A Public Option, and ultimately Single Payer, must be fully financed from federal taxes.

A Public Option must be made mandatory for ALL government employees, including Congress.

It's time the US joined other civilized nations of the world in providing basic health care to ALL it's citizens, without exception.

Don't bother to pass anything if it does not have A CLEAR CONDITION-FREE PUBLIC OPTION.

yes, of course, it's a blogger on salon.com , did you think it was on drudge or fox....
