I really like the job Kay Hagan is doing as my Senator (she was my state senator prior to this election as well), I voted for her in 2008 and so far I have been pleased. She was right on the Tobacco bill and seems to be right on public option.

Duke, could you explain this sentence from your link to me. and the community health insurance option will compete on a level playing field with private health insurance plans in the gateway."
I have tried and tried to understand how this happens on a level playing field and somehow don't see how the public option is even with the others since any losses it has from having too cheap rates can be made up with tax money. I just can't understand how that is level.

" and the community health insurance option will compete on a level playing field with private health insurance plans in the gateway." What's there to explain? You can read into it however you'd like or spin it which ever way you like... Public Option is the way to go...
