Senate health bill unlikely to include Medicare buy-in: insufficient support for public-option alternative
NO SHIT. Lowering the Medicare age doesn't do jack shit for anybody younger than the newly lowered age. Now if you want to lower the Medicare age to zero, preferably with the understanding that health care for fetuses falls under the category of health care for pregnant women and that abortions also fall under the category of health care for pregnant women, then we'd be getting somewhere.
On a related note: has anybody actually filibustered anything yet? Because seems to me there's a few people accomplishing a lot of blockading by threatening to filibuster, because everybody always backs down from that threat. Seems to me it's about time to call the bluff.
