By on the table do you mean a bill has been drawn up and is there?  Or do you mean the colloquial "it has been mentioned by some people who are democrats." 


To be quite honest, I fully support the idea.  I'll be happy with a public option.  The gross neglect of the citizens of the United States by the free-market insurance companies,  MUST stop.   I'm a prime example of this.   I was lied to,  I was told I'd be okay to switch plans from individual to employer and that after my job was over I could switch back with no problems.   By no problems they meant that i'd have to completely start over with years wait for my preexisting,  higher premiums I can't afford AND pay the medical bills I do and will have,  or for my expensive treatment (humalog/lantis insulin 1000ml mo each,  appx 250$mo / test strips 90$mo, / syringes 30$ mo / glucose tablets around 40$ mo / occasional ambulance rides to the hospital 800-2000 every 2mo on avg.  )   With my bills I cannot afford the rate increase for insurance that won't cover the only thing I need covered for a couple years.   They lied to me,  directly.  They told me it would be NO problem to come back to MY plan, even with the preexisting condition.   Apparently since it was said "with"  instead of "we won't exclude coverage for the preexisting"  then I didn't ask an explicit enough question, even though the entire 20 minute convo was about this very thing.   Screw them.   They're no good.  44,999,999 other Americans are in the same position I'm in.   We need care.
