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?

They work, so it makes sense to extend it to everyone.

What tha****?

If those systems work, than why do we need to expand it to people who can afford health insurance?

You don't make sense!

They work, so why shouldn't everyone have them?

You should just come out and say we need single-payer insurance for everybody, because a public-option is not enough

Because Medicare and Medicaid is basically a public-option for the poor and elderly.

Correct.

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?

Given that Medicaid works for those who have it, wouldn't it make sense to extend it to all?

Here's a question. If we need the public-option so bad, then why would they wait to implement it it till about 2013? Mmmm!

Because "they" are bad people.
