But I am quite stupid on matters of US healthcare - I know it's appalling due to a young friend of mine who contracted HIV.
What is the public option and what does it mean?

the Public Option would be a government run non-profit insurance agency that would offer policies to everyone . . . at the moment the private insurance corporations refuse to cover "high risk" people (which includes things like being overweight, underweight, suffering mental illness, or being the victim of domestic violence etc), and even the people they accept have huge difficulties qualifying for payments when they need it . . . the Public Option would give them a choice to insure with the government if they want to
hi Jeff,
im sure an email or phone call any time during the day would have helped get their attention
it was organised through The Young Turks who have a huge (near 100, 000) subscribership on YouTube
here is a clip of the in-person protest @ Los Angeles

i would hate to have HIV in general, but to have HIV in the USA if you are low income would be a nightmare
i hope your friend continues to fight the disease until we find a cure
