Why a so-called Public health option when the poor have Medicaid and the elderly have Medicare?

Because people on Medicaid/Medicare generally consider them good programs.

Ok, so if there good programs then why do we need to establish a so-called public-option?

Exactly! It would be much easier to simply drop the minimum age for medicare from 65 to 0.

Yeah, I don't know why politicaladdict finds this so hard to understand.

Also he's incredibly uninformed if he thinks a public option is the same as medicaid or medicare.

I'm uninformed? Why do we need a public health option for the poor and elderly if we already have medicare and medicaid?

YOU DOPE!

We don't, dope, and that's why the public option is for people who don't have either. The public option is NOT an entitlement program. It's a government-owned/run corporation that would sell health insurance to consumers.

What difference is it gonna make to have a so-called option  if medicare, gov program, ain't covering certain people?

Are you saying medicaid ain't enough and instead we need to add more gov programs and increase the bankruptcy like medicare and medicaid and social-security are?

Oops, I think you're literally retarded!
