Medicare You Can Buy Into Act
HR 4789

"The Way Forward"
introduced by Congressman Alan Grayson from Florida on Tuesday, March 9, 2010:
 
"To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide for an option for any citizen
or permanent resident of the United States to buy into Medicare."
 
You've heard about the public option and debated it
- now we have a public option we can understand - it is time to vote.
The government spent billions of dollars creating a Medicare network of providers that is only open to one-eighth of the population. That’s like saying, ‘Only people 65 and over can use federal highways.’ It is a waste of a very valuable resource and it is not fair. This idea is simple, it makes sense, and it deserves an up-or-down vote.
