Would it be possible for the Dems to present a Public Option amendment to the ACA as a resolution?

It seems to me that a carefully crafted Public Option could reduce the need for Medicaid expansion for SOME segments of the population. Working on the details... but if middle income families had a public option buy-in for keeping grandma in nursing care that might help? Just asking.

the repukes can go fuck themselves and watch their deathcare vanish before their eyes.

it will then be the Dems job to come up with something to make Obamacare better and NOT throw people off medicare.

I don't trust anyone other than the front line workers who work directly with those on Medicare to review who can have benefits cut.
