I have a question, a kind of poll for us here. If we assume a constitutional amendment would be necessary to pass a public option or single payer with mandates-And we assume from the poll above most of us want it- Should we shelve the bill and go for broke? Knowing that will take a year or two or three?

I’ll answer myself first-I think medical providers should be regulated like public utilities, with all due regulation and oversight. So no I’d take what is in the current bill over “going for broke” in a public option attempt.
