Okay. I thought I knew the answer to this question, but now I'm not so sure. I thought everyone would be eligible for the public option, but I think I may have been wrong about that.
However, I really need to know. I've tried researching it. I couldn't find anything useful under the many different variations of the search terms I was using. What I really need is someone who knows the answer to this question and can provide me with sources. I realize that the pulic option is not super-clearly defined, but I also know that there must be some roundabout estimates or some analysis or something somewhere.
Making this diary was the only thing I could think of to do. The community here is very smart about these issues and I just know that someone here will be able to answer my question. Once my question is sufficiently answered I will delete this diary if that is the wish of the community.
I also have one other question. I don't know the answer to this question. Do very many people know the answer to this question? I don't think I could walk into the University I attend and find a single person who knows the answer to this question. If my hypothesis is true, that is, the hypothesis that not very many people know the answer to this question, then my additional question is 'why not'? Isn't this an incredibly important question in terms of the national debate on healthcare?
Anyway, thank you all in advance.
