38. 1. Public option.

2. It wouldn't but neither did the single payer bill...the idea is the GOP held it up as proof that no one supports the ACA.

3. It can't get through congress and never will...it undermined the ACA.

If single payer arrives it will be through a public option with the ACA...or adding older voters to Medicare...dropping the age...none of that can happen without the ACA...all the time to craft a bill that undermined the ACA and is going nowhere was foolish.
