The Public Option is Dead...or So They Said

From DKTV: Behold, the collective genius of the "news" team at Fox, declaring the public option dead time after time after time.

(I'd have titled this "The Public Option is Dead! Long Live the Public Option!", but I've already done that before.)

Clearly, we will have the undead zombie public option just in time for Halloween!

"The public option wants to eat your brain!"

Unsubstantiated facts are fun. Incidentally, did you know that Bill O'Reilly killed a guy? Back in the 90s somewhere. Killed him dead. Some say they saw it.

1) You, meaning we, can't afford it.

2) There's so much waste and fraud in already-established, insolvent government boondoggles now I don't know how the thieves can lie with a straight face.

3) Once the government owns your health, they own you.

^Not to let reality intrude on your political programing, but public health care already exists everywhere else in the developed world. As it turns out, public systems are cheaper, less corrupt and less invasive than corporate systems. This information is easily available, should you ever develop enough curiosity or courage to seek it.

Meritocracy: judge by the motivation of leadership

1) "I am motivated by improving the nations health statistics within my allocated budget. Efficiency of care, prevention of illness, improved / shorter recovery periods."

2) "I am motivated by maximising shareholder profit. Higher premiums and less honoured claims. Care is targetted to a market that is willing and can afford to pay the best premiums."

Health as a service vs. Insurance as a product.

Well that's a paraphrase... But that is exactly what you're saying.
