Let me get this right [View all]

Right now, Biden and his supporters back a plan in which, unless you are very poor or very old, you get to keep the employee-provided insurance you love.

But now that everybody is going to be laid off, they'll lose the insurance, and they can't afford a public option. But since they're now poor, they get to be covered by Medicaid, so it all works out in the end, correct?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
