I am a poor person. I don't own a car. In fact, I am one of the millions of Americans who are "un-vehicled." When I need to get somewhere, I use the public option. The public option I prefer, the train, demands a small co-pay, is slightly inconvenient, but nevertheless gets me to work just the same as a Mercedes, a Hummer, or a private helicopter. Somehow the country has not turned socialist because of this public option.

If there is a public option for the un-vehicled, why not for the uninsured?

Publically funded and accessible to everyone for a co-pay of about $3-- the CTA Green Line!
