    I mean that’s a public option, right? Passing it would have made Mayo Pete a more consequential president than Obama.

      Oh, you got me there.

      “We make sure that everybody can afford [public health insurance], but we don’t require you to take it. And partly I think that’s just the right policy, because I think people should be able to choose,” Pete Buttigieg said.

      Every time a dem offers up a “choice” - it’s a choice between bad and worse.

      Passing it

      In some alternate universe he became president and he did pass Petecare. I’m sure it was a huge hit - with the healthcare industry.
