He is playing the same game as almost everyone else with saying the public option is the best we can get. Rubbish! As Progressives, we own the White House. We own the Senate. We own the Congress. If we can not ram a single payer program down the throats of the Republicans now, we will never be able to do so. Either man up & get the job done, or get out of the way and let's elect someone who will do the job. Health care is a right for everyone in this country. The sooner we establish that fact, the quicker we can move onto the rest of the agenda.
