Public option won t serve the public

© Getty Images Democrats now control the White House and both Houses of Congress, albeit with very slim majorities. What will they do with (or to) health care? “Medicare for All” or the House bill Medicare for All Act of 2019 are probably a non-starters. Introduced almost two years ago, the act has never been brought to a vote probably because of its price tag of $32.6 trillion to $40 trillion. Worse, the bill34 will reduce access to care. The centerpiece of the Biden Health Care plan is the public option. Polls show support for that approach though, surprisingly, few know precisely what public option means or what it will do.

Disabled Texans worry about future of Affordable Care Act and its impact on their lives

Laura Halvorson relies on two 24-hour breathing machines to keep her alive. The machines cost $2,000 per month. They re paid for through her insurance from the Affordable Care Act. Halvorson, who is 36 and lives in San Antonio, has muscular dystrophy, a disease that causes progressive loss of muscle mass. For years, Halvorson was a teacher in North Texas and received health insurance through her employer. But eventually her disability progressed to the point that she could no longer work. Now she s worried that the U.S. Supreme Court will strike down the health care law that has helped her live independently. Without it, Halvorson fears she ll end up in the state s care at a nursing home.
