Related: About this forumBernie cant get 60 votes but Hillary can get 31 repuke governors to adopt a public option.
http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-mh-hillary-clinton-reveals-her-plan-obamacare-20160223-column.htmlClinton's idea is to establish the public option beginning at the state level using existing provisions of the ACA to "work with interested governors, using current flexibility under the Affordable Care Act, to empower states to establish a public option choice."
"It would, however, need funding," Sprung notes. That's where cooperation between governors and a President Clinton might come in. And that's where the waiver might come in. If the state could find other means of savings, those measures might be integrated in a waiver proposal with a public option. In time, state-level public options could be brought upstream to the federal level and presto! you've re-created the original ACA public option.
Yeah,this is going to happen with the current occupants of the state houses.

OP
Bernie is the only progressive in this race who has a plan to get things done. Hillary has NO plan.

in between impeachment hearings. A republican congress is only an obstacle to Bernie.
