So last week, the "death panelists" managed to scare us away from end of life counselling reimbursement. Now, I wake up to learn that we are being scared away from a public option. Thoughts:
1. I just read a brief piece in Rolling Stone--a panel consisting of Michael Moore, David Gergen,and Paul Krugman discussed Obama's initiatives and graded him--I could care less about the grade. However, the one thing they all agreed on was that without a public option, there is no reform in this bill.
2. Medicare, Medicaid, and the VA system are in one way or another federally overseen or federally funded health care plans. But we are scared of another.
3. How is it that Democrats from small rural states (Conrad/North Dakota and Baucus/Montana to name two)have so much control. The Republican opposition is to be expected. These guys combined don't represent the total population of two New York City boroughs.
I can hardly wait for Keith Olberman tonight. He will be berserk.
