Despite what centrist Democrats argue, a public option would not be better than Medicare-For-All. It would leave in place the insurance company status quo and provide little more than a dumping ground for sicker, unhealthier people. It would also fail to bring down the cost of healthcare administration in this country—which a single-payer program could easily cut in half. Polling questions are often slanted against Medicare-For-All and in favor of a public option, and support for single-payer skyrockets when you present its positive aspects and don't lie about it. The German healthcare system has many crucial differences between the proposals put forth by centrist Democratic candidates.
