With the way the state has run the MBTA in the ground, are we sure it's capable of enacting, funding, and operating health care? And who's going to decide what the limits are? Agreeing to publicly fund all the health care that everyone in the state wants could bankrupt the state. Moving to a public option as part of a long term plan to get to single payer seems more reasonable and prudent than trying to move straight to single payer now. I'm voting no on#5, but yes on the rest.

Now imagine there is no MBTA and it's just private companies offering transportation. That's how the current healthcare runs.

Yeah and they charge $20 for a subway ride. They can bring that down to $8.50 but only if you inform them ahead of time and they determine you really need to take the T.
