Actually the congressional plan is better than anything that most of us on here will ever get the opportunity to have, and its free to them. There was also an attempt by Phil Gingrey and a couple others to add an amendment to the House bill that would require congress to use the public option if it passed. Pelosi wouldnt let it come to a vote.
