How about Obama and the Democrats getting together and drop any mention of "public plan" or "robust public plan" or "viable public plan" or even the overused "single payer" and simply use a word familiar to most Americans and all Canadians:  MEDICARE

Yeah I know that would be too simple.  Telling the American public:

"You and/or your employer will have the right to purchase an insurance policy with the program commonly known as MEDICARE.  You get all the coverage that anyone over 65 gets, including the new revised prescription drug plan, and you get it for a reasonable monthly fee. If you can't afford the premium, we'll help you pay for it."

How about folding SCHIP and Medicaid in there while we are at it.

Simplify the system and simplify the talking points.

And just 41 percent approve of the president's job on health care, which is nearly identical to Bill Clinton's scores from 1994, when he failed to get Congress to pass health care reform...(but) when read the specifics of his goals for health care -- like requiring insurers to cover those with pre-existing conditions, providing low-income families with subsidies to help them afford insurance, and raising taxes on the wealthy to pay for the subsidies -- 56 percent say they support Obama's plan. Only 38 percent oppose.

Wow!  You'd think that would be a wake up call for the MSM to help the country understand what it is the Democrats/Obama are trying to accomplish. 

Unfortunately its much easier to say: "$1 trillion plan, will add to deficit and cost you more to go to your government assigned doctor. Old People will be murdered."
