FYI: Rob Reiner helped to create Stephen Bannon (Breitbart), Trump's Campaign Manager

From wiki:

In 1990, Bannon and several colleagues from Goldman Sachs launched Bannon & Co., a boutique investment bank specializing in media. Through Bannon & Co., Bannon negotiated the sale of Castle Rock Entertainment to Ted Turner. As payment, Bannon & Co. accepted a stake in five television shows, including Seinfeld. Société Générale purchased Bannon & Co.

Castle Rock Entertainment was co-founded by Rob Reiner.

Reiner has stated that Castle Rock's purpose was to allow creative freedom to individuals; a safe haven away from the pressures of studio executives. Castle Rock was to make films of the highest quality, whether they made or lost money

According to the NY Times election predictor, it all comes down to PA or FLA

If Hillary wins either state, it's o-v-e-r. Done like dinner. Game. Set. Match to Hillary. "Down goes Frazier. Down goes Frazier." Over. Roger and Out. Fat lady sings.

Scroll down to the section, "Donald Trump’s Difficult Path to the White House".)

We need to revive the Public Option, and pay for it with a combination of premiums and

a federal consumption tax on certain non-survival goods e.g. cigarettes, alcohol, fast food, and soft drinks, etc.

Premiums should be based on your income. The higher your income, the higher your premium. People with low incomes would have their premiums subsidized with the national sales tax.

Healthcare professionals would be compensated at a lightly higher rate than Medicaid/Medicare to attract providers to accept this insurance.
