Medicare for everyone is a public option

I am a bit concerned that folks are getting a bit too "heated" in this thread.

So am I. Have you asked TPTB to close this one too?

It happens a lot. I think Health care activism is kind of a red zone for the moderators around here. I'm sure we get more threads closed then most of the other forums combined. It's the nature of the subject. But it doesn't help that the majority of the staff seems to be pro-H.R. 3962. In any case, AN isn't really the place for getting into these debates anyways.
