A simple fact

Anthony Weiner (D-NY) has stated a simple fact that should become a main talking point for Democrats pushing the public option plan:

55 Republican opponents of the public option are themselves on Medicare, which is, of course, a government sponsored, single-payer health care system.

This makes them first class hypocrits for denying similar coverage to all Americans.

Let's "re-brand" the public option as "Medicare-for-All," and I'll bet it would pass with votes to spare.
