"Let me also address a[n] illegitimate concern that's being put forward by
those who are claiming that a public option is somehow a Trojan horse for a
single-payer system."

I think if we get a good public option, it could lead to single payer and
that's the best way to reach single payer. think the best way we're gonna
get single payer, the only way, is to have a public option and demonstrate
its strength and its power.
