A public option is probably the best way to augment Obamacare. Obamacare was so close to being a good policy, it just left too many gaps scattered across different levels. It was such a boon for people making around the 20-50k/year range, it's just too bad it left everyone else out in the cold. If it had helped more people, it would have been much more popular and would have saved itself.
