Senate Healthcare Bill has Public Option Anyway http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_health_care_overhaul "Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested a new name for the same approach to ease the opposition. She suggested "the consumer option." Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., appearing at Pelosi's side, used the term "competitive option.""
Like "The Make Wall Street Pay for Its Bailout Tax...." that would cripple global financial markets. I guess no matter how it's phrased idiot politicians will come up with a PC way of shoving socialism down our throats.
This will be a benign form of socialism. You won't have to pay for it or participate if you would prefer to pay more.
I am an independent and I am all for the public option. Let the government compete with the insurers! If you do not want the public option stay with your private insurer! The public option is the only effective way in my opinion to lower those ridiculous, crippling health costs in the USA.
GOP_trader, I'm on to you. I know you're a liberal who says very inflammatory comments under the guise of "a Republican trader", in order to make conservatives look racist, homophobic, small minded, etc. Every time I see you post, it is of that nature and I'm about 99% sure you're a plant.
