Public Option = our current system + option to buy into a Medicare-like plan
The Medicare option would mimic traditional Medicare w/ premiums, deductibles & coinsurance. This is an improvement over our current system, but doesn't come close to the care you'd receive w/ #M4A

The Public Option doesn’t reduce costs because it doesn't create enough leveraging power or eliminate the administration overhead to drive down prices—it only gives you access to buy a plan.
If healthcare isn't financially accessible, then it's not accessible.

Lost in this disturbing video is the troubling answer Rep. Tom Suozzi gave around receiving donations from the same corporations he regulates through his seat on the House Ways & Means committee.
🥊Spoiler Alert: The only person he fights for is himself.

In the last two election cycles, Suozzi has taken over $1 million from corporate PACs and Super PACs funded by corporate PACs. That's public record.
He happily admitted in the video to accepting corporate donations.
Why?

Tom: "So I can win campaigns against the people you're supporting"
Tom doesn't take corporate 💵 to beat Republicans, but to beat progressives fighting against corporate influence.
Corporate-funded Dems like Suozzi know they can't beat progressives without a rigged system.

This hypocrisy is egregious. The End Citizens United Action Fund is a DCCC fundraising PAC. Endorsing corporate-financed Reps makes a mockery of the real work that @WolfPAChq and @MoveToAmend actually do to end the corporate corruption that’s broken our government.

I’m not sure how a politician who’s taken over a million dollars from corporate and Super PACs in just the last 2 election cycles is graded an A, when that grade and the premise of the organization is based on rejecting corporate money.

It’s not just that Tom funds his campaign with corporate money, it’s that his policies and votes repeatedly benefit his corporate donors, who in turn, give him more money.
