Open Left

She is voting for the HELP bill (4.00 / 2)

So, I gues the answer to your question is whether you consider the HELP bill a fake public option or not.

How much do we know about the HELP bill? (0.00 / 0)

Does it incorporate the Schumer compromise, i.e. public plan funded by premiums only?

For that matter, does the House bill's public option have that same caveat?  And are either bill's public plans allowed to actually bargain for lower rates?
