[Peace-discuss] Howard Dean: I'm going to fight for a public option until we get one

[John W.]

Tell Dean to fight for Medicare for All.  The public option was always a
half-assed idea.  Health insurance companies add absolutely nothing
productive to our economy.  Maybe they did once, but they don't anymore.
They've become houses of corruption, like the big banks.
