re: #361 Floral Giraffe

Another thought,
when/if our elected officials give up their government health care to join the “public option” or whatever it gets called, THEN I will think that the government plan is a good thing.

They did.

As a joke, the Republicans bought their own talking point and offered an amendment requiring Congress to use the public option. To their surprise, Democrats fell over themselves to vote for it, some even offering to co-sponsor it.

The Republicans refused to let them, and are now trying to backpedal on the amendment.
