I like a public option, honesty that creates great competition and the huge pool would lower prices.
Unfortunately, I don't think we're getting single payer or a public option. I think we'll get a few tweaks to the existing ACA/Obamacare, and then some new "crisis" will divert the nation's attention. The healthcare industry has too much profit to lose to let comprehensive health care reform pass.

Calm Down — Bill Clinton Didn’t Say Obamacare Is Terrible
That quotation, while accurate, doesn’t fully portray Bill Clinton’s argument for keeping the Affordable Care Act ― which has extended health coverage to 20 million people and cut the uninsured rate to a historic low ― and enhancing it with policies proposed by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
Bill Clinton accurately described the status quo as one where people who get health coverage from government programs like Medicare and Medicaid, and people who are eligible for subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, are well-covered ― but where people who earn too much for financial assistance can face high premiums:

It's funny how these parties create the problem, then become heroes when they come up with a solution. smh

Now wait a second. You know it's election season, right? We can't have things like "context" and "facts" get in the way of a good story, can we? Now everybody, let's speculate on how the original 35sec clip alludes to Obamacare possibly starting WW3! (- suddenly realizes I've been mutating into a true politician -)
In all seriousness, I just watched the clip (starts at 25:41). Yeah, he's talking about adding some kind of buy-in option. But it's only for people that make too much for Medicaid, aren't on Medicare, and don't qualify for the current health care subsidies. He didn't mention anything about the States who refused to expand Medicaid or their State run health care systems for the poor, so I'm guessing that part of the current system won't change. Meh, just some tweaks.

But wait...the OP is more than correct for many like me....who has a subsidy.....with premiums still higher than pre-ACA and deductibles that were less than $500.00 [five hundred]....now up to $6350.00.
There is thousands if not millions like me....many of whom have opted to pay the penalty for faux insurance.
With any luck, Hillary won't dismantle/ruin Medicare before I can sign onto that!!!!!!!!!

Soros school of business. Create a problem then sell the solution. He is their mentor after all.

If you listen carefully, they are setting up trying to introduce single payer.
Now these same liberals will turn around and basically admit it was a failure and that the only solution is yet more government. Of course, the sheeple liberals have forgotten by now that the issues were created by the very party that they are voting for.
