Stop saying the individual will pay for it, that's just false. If if you don't understand the public will be paying for it you have no clue what your talking about.

It was published in newsweek and forbs two weeks ago that the public option as it stands will be a financial disaster,I bet you think they are all paid off by the insurance companies too.

LOL .. The insurance companies are saying it will be a financial disaster!! LOL... wake up.. They have interest for Americans to have NO other choices but to buy there product if they want health insurance.... Medicare buy in is something that will strengthen medicare and expand it to all Americans.... it's not free it's paid for by the person... Lets stop the scam called private health insurance... IT"S a disaster in America and causes untold suffering....

If there is no public option i the health care bill it is a pile of garbage bill.

Tell your democrat representatives that if they don't put it in the bill you will not vote for them next time around.

They are showing themselves to be part of the rich corrupt powers party with every action they take (along with the republicans).

Force them to do the right thing, because they do not want to.

Lol, i'm sorry, but you have no clue what your talking about, the public option is paid for by the public, and economists are saying it will be financial disaster. There are other choices that havn't been taken into mind by the DEMs. I'm not in bed with big insurance companies, and not all (if any) are.

Try about 20 families all paying OUTRAGES premiums.... Funny part is you people think there worried about a little extra tax for a public option... FARTHEST thing from the truth... NOTHING will stop the rising costs of health care if the government does not step in.... PERIOD...

A LITTLE EXTRA TAX?? we are already paying 50% for their incompetencies. If we only had to pay the government 10% for what it's supposed to do this would be the least of our problems.

I"m hearing about a Medicare buy in option being proposed so Americans have the choice to get Medicare BUT they will have to pay for it..... IF ONE DAM republican tell's me I shouldn't have that option then there a traitor to there own country.... DON'T TELL ME I CANT SPEND MY MONEY WHERE I WANT TOO... NO reason why Americans cant have the option for that.... Freedom of choice is what I want.... GIVE IT TO ME

That's right spend your money where you want to, don't demand others to do the same, as is the result of a public option.
