How do you fix a problem when the easy solution is not allowed. In other words we all know the easy solution is a single pay system. Are we really that stubborn or that greedy that we believe the rest of the world is wrong and we are right ?
This is my solution. We currently have Medicare for people 65 and over why not create a Medicare Blue for those under 65. People 18 to 35 pay one rate and people 36 to 55 pay another and finally 56 to 64. Let this serve as our Public Option!
It serves two purposes, one its a program we are all familiar with and two the Republicans would not dare attack Medicare. The facts are we have to keep things as simple as possible because if we don't the Republicans will lie and scare older people to death.

Medicare Blue would compete against the insurance companies and provide a Public Option that so many of us are looking for. Medicare has been a successful program for 40 years and would provide care for the 40+ million that are not currently covered.
Here are some of the lies we all will have to address. The problem right now is change is complicated and the Republicans can twist it to scare people.

Democrats need to make it simple stupid. Do you support insurance companies or the people of the United States. Every Republican should be asked that very simple question. Are you with insurance companies or with the American people. Ask it again and again and again.
