Grayson rapidly picking up cosponsors for Medicare buy-in

By GottaLaff

Alan Grayson has been criticized for being a little over the top, but even so, I find him to be a breath of fresh air. Especially because it's not just hot air. He follows through.

Via Chris Bowers over at Open Left:

Representative Alan Grayson has introduced a four-page bill that would allow all Americans under the age of 65 purchase Medicare for a fee. [...]

The bill currently has ten co-sponsors. Notably, I have learned that these co-sponsors were gathered in only 15 minutes, making one co-sponsor for every 90 seconds of effort. [...]

The Medicare buy-in proposal has, it would appear, significantly more support than a new, stand along public option. [...]

This is an effort with a lot of potential support in Congress, so much that it could potentially be passed as a stand alone bill. You can support it over at WeWantMedicare.com.

IMHO, this is a better option than what's left of the public option. And yes, I signed the letter.
