(22,308 posts)A public option and single payer were both suggested by Sen. Stabenow at the rally today as a way of improving it.
P.S. Really good turnout for the rally. It was kinda cold so everyone kept their speeches to around 5 minutes each. Bernie was maybe ten minutes but that is pretty short for him. I saw him do ~50 at the same college (inside) during the primary.
Mostly older people there too. Not the young Bernie supporters I was seeing at his earlier rallies. Of course there were some, but it was definitely a different crowd.
